ME and my "new" Telefunken magnetophon 75 or how to catch a mouse

Someone I knew bought a taperecorder on a fleamarket, because it was a so beautiful design that It was hard to resist. At home he could not find the mains cable and opened it. But he is not a good technician so he sold the thing to me for the original 3 euro's.

What are we doing

Picture 2
1 Something was connected here
2 I do not trust that cable, lets open up the other site
3 some rests of old styrofoam


picture 3
Ah there you are ...... and some styrofoam again


Picture 4
A snare so loose , that cannot be true with this width



It flips off so easily


The noisy sound when shaking te recorder is caused by two
restant parts of the handle, what a #$%^& who cut that off



Look to that wheel on the right, it has no function so.
The speed regulator, something bad happend there. One of the owners who tried to repair mixed up the snares
now you have one speed for playing and 2 for winding




No wonder that the main wheel not turns properly, by mixing up the snares, this one is certainly to low mounted underneath in stead of on the wheel.



Firts thing mounted is the wheel without a function. It solves the loose snare.



With this crappy picture, a motion is simulated
not on purpose. I hope it wil work now and that I do not have troubles with the electronics, becoming parts is so difficult.



And now ..........
Playing time
Bad quality by sticky messy BASF tape, but it was the one on the machine. It is recorded in a church. Some religion you can not avoid. But the machine is working .

I can see you have much fun with your new toy, DED, enjoy .

once we trapped a mouse in a round trash can, maybe a meter high.
it ran around the bottom of the can faster and faster -- looking for a way out -- and it spun itself out : it flew out of the can (spinning around the inside of the can and landed on the floor in the kitchen and scurried off to a corner and disappeared.
my roommate and I looked at each other, laughed and said if we both didn't see that happen, no one would believe us.
I never tell that story.

the new tenant (lol) I seemed to have chased to the back porch. he didn't show up in the kitchen last night.

Al I can think of now, is get a cat.

I chased the mouse out last night

it was slow and over curious

Ahh! Great job!

Once, on a very hot day in August, I spotted a tiny little mouse in the garden, crawling slowly. The poor little mouse seemed to have problems in the heat. He did not resond at all, so I put a glass jar over him (and some cheese in it). Then the soup was ready. After the soup I found he was still under the jar, on which there was now condensation. I pulled it off and caught the mouse when it ran away. I released it at some nearby nature.
