de la Warr Analyser (2)

de la Warr Analyser (2)

I have recently restored the control panel of this instrument. The tuning knobs are not in the best shape, but I have polished them as best I can and made necessary repairs. We have made a model of the old style knobs used on this instrument, but most manufacturer need a MOQ of 1000 pcs which is quite excessive just for a few restoration items. I have not been able to find any new old stock anywhere so we are stuck with the old ones. These knobs look to have taken damage from the broken glass while in transit.

The process of restoring this panel required the complete disassembly of all the components. Well it didn’t NEED to be completely taken apart, but I’m a sucker for detail, and this way I was able to clean each and every piece of hardware. Furthermore it’s solve et coagula which allows me mastery over the instrument.

It has been a while since I last posted anything to this blog, so I thought I’d detail a restoration piece I am working on for a client.

When the instrument was received my client was shocked at the state of the piece. It had arrived full of glass, the window to the location sheet shattered into thousands of pieces, and the cabinet was bursting at the joints. The leather upholstery was decayed, dirty, scratched and torn. The cabinet hardware was corroded and worn.

This de la Warr analyser was sent to me for repair. I have restored my own analyser which is a much later model, so I was already familiar with the format.

The bulk of this project is restoring the cabinet which is no mean feat. To date I have disassembled the lid, stripped back the old leather, sanded the woodwork and rejoined the pieces. The quality of the original woodwork is very poor, which is why the instrument suffered some damage in the first place. I done my best to strengthen the joints and prep the wood for the new hard wearing Tolex.

Here is the cabinet. Unfortunately you can’t easily make out the broken joints from this angle.

This three dial radionics device was designed to be affordable and powered by the Spooky2 XM generator. Whereas other radionic devices on the market sell for thousands and do very little, this one is a mere fraction of the cost and is extremely versatile.

Spooky Radionics has a new updated page over at Berkana Labs. You can view the page by following this link:

Radionics Machine – Wickenden Device V.02

Radionics Machine – Wickenden Device V.02

I have decided to commercially launch Berkana Labs. This is to provide individuals with the opportunity to purchase high quality radionic and aethertronic instruments.

To kick off this commercial venture I have developed the Wickenden Device V.02. The plan was to develop an entry model which packs a punch. I have based the aesthetic design off of the classic wickenden device, but the core of the instrument has had a complete overhaul. The amplifier has been re-imagined, and re-engineered to provide even more power. I wanted to be able to include a few other functions so after a fair amount of research and development I was able to include the following functions:

  • Stochastic resonance subtle signal transfer and amplifier.
  • Automated remedy maker.
  • A vibro potentiser.
  • A proprietary system clearing function.
  • Universal mains voltage power supply.

How to Wind Toroidal Mobius Coils

This was an original post from Wizzers workshop before John Logan and his site disappeared. A couple of years ago I ask Mr.Logan if I could publish this particular info of his as I found it really useful when I first started making these coils. He gave me permission, so for all my readers here is the article.

 

an original coil design developed at Wizzers Workshop and the first such online tutorial anywhere on the web…

updated Sep. 2006

This coil is composed of a series quadrifilar cable with a 45 degree helical twist; the cable is then wound with a toroidal winding pattern. The first wrap of the cable serves as the core around which to wind the toroid. Realistically, it will seldom be a perfect 45 degrees if wound by hand. Angles between say 38 and 45 seem to work well enough but the closer to 45 the better.
