Brian

Don't give up. There's more than one way to skin a cat. This is what I do:

Assuming the photo is already on my hard drive, I use Photoshop to first resize my photos to a width of 600 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio the same, which in landscape mode yields an image that's 600 x 450 pixels. Then I "save as" the file to a different name than the original so the original, full-resolution version isn't lost.

Then I get on Beoworld and write my message. In the message editor, there are 4 tabs: "Compose," "Options," "Related," and "Preview." You write your message in "Compose." I assume you know this part, because you've posted some messages.

Once you're done with the writing part, click on the "Options" tab. Click on "Add/Update." A dialog box pops up. I think you can use the bottom option for your Photobucket and other "in the cloud" photos, but I use the top (default) option for just uploading files from my computer. Click "Browse," find the file, click "Save." The dialog box goes away, and now your file name is listed. Click "Post." Done.

This method limits each of your posts to one photo (I'm pretty sure). But that's something you can probably live with. If you want to share more than one photo, just make multiple posts in the thread. That's what I do - nobody's called me an idiot for doing that so far!

Okay, open your web album, in diff. tab open the forum thread, write your text, go to your album, click pic wanted, in "share this foto" frame, click "see more", Click get link code,Copy the link at IMG for bulletin---, without [IMG] at start and end

Go back to thread, place your curser and click insert/edit image, paste link code to URL, click insert, tried 2 times, and some trials, it works.

Sorry for using your thread for experiments

the problem 120 ohm resistors, top, to left of centre. I'm also restoring a 609k which has the same tuner section and these same resistors are way out of spec on that too.

First, edit your photos (bring them down to 800x600).

Sign in to forum, go to your files, (in the upper right corner on this page, click, signed in as "your name"), click my files, if you want to make folders for different projekts, in "folder", write folder name, then open folder (click folder), in "add file", click browse, then go to the pic stored in your comp. double click, the pic adress will now show in "browse", click add file, the pic will now show in the folder selected, to add more pics. repeat: browse, pic, add file.

When publishing to thread, set your curser over or under your text, click insert media, click Browse, click folder, double click pick and voila your done.

Minette restoration

brianbrian — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 05:56:32 GMT

Hi,

have finally got the components, time and other necessaries together to try to restore the Minette tuner. Replaced small electrolytics and some resistors on the board, specifically caps 32, 41 and 33 and resistors 12, 14, 34, 35 and 39. It's working (listening to it now) but only in mono.

Would like to post some pics but not sure how.

Can anyone explain how to post pics and does anyone have suggestions about troubleshooting the non functioning channel?

Thanks,

Brian
