Ye Olde Pellet Pusher...
« on: September 29, 2007, 02:01:42 PM »
Being the cheap curmudgeon, I scoured my old junk boxes for somthing I could use to "stage" pellets in my .177 and .22 flingers.

An electronic tuning tool I've had for years was pressed into service, sans the flat blades at each tip.  It came in a set of alignment tools that were handy in the old tube days.  Cost nearly nothing.

Works nicely!

Radio Shack might be a place to find alignment tools.  I've not seen them for sale in at least 20 years, locally.

Hehe good lord I havent seen a pin bender in I cant remember how long. I use to have several of them because I would lose one and get another one and then find the one I lost and so on and so forth. In my yute.... I grew up in Seattle playing in rock n roll bands as a guitar player. And basically being a stereotypical guitar player of the day I wouldnt be caught dead playing through a solid state amp. Tube amps RULE!!! Well since I am also a tinkerer hot rodding my Marshall and Fender amps was basically a given. Every once in a while you would get a set of tubes from some far off place....ie soviet union, china, czhec republic and so on and so forth..... and the pins wouldnt be real straight so a simple tool was needed to get them back sqaure with the world. And what Charles is showing was the ticket. I believe if you did a search on vacuum tubes for electronics you could find a deluge of these nifty little things floating around all over.

JMG, I've worked on some high-class Russian made preamps and amplifiers in my day.  You've got to love tube-type stuff (talking AF amps here) for supression of odd-order harmonics.  Buttery smooth audio.

Also worked on my share of broadcast/amateur (ham) tube transmitters and transceivers too.  Those were the days.

Now, all my ventures are solid-state.  I had more "fun" working on tube stuff, though.  Nothing like seeing old mercury-vapor rectifiers, or white-hot cathodes/filaments, and cherry red plates.

Kept warm in the winter time too! Now, 'dem were 'da days!
