Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and information about some of the electronic, electrical and electrotechnical Obsolete technology relics that the Frank Sharp Private museum has accumulated over the years .
Premise: There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.

Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.

Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a museum that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular, would bring things to the attention of the average person that he has previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture. From this, the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum concept developed and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame in a working, hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or Faraday's first transformer, but I can show things that you can't see at the Science Museum, and let you play with things that the Smithsonian can't allow people to touch, because my remit is different.

There was a society once that was the polar opposite of our disposable, junk society. A whole nation was built on the idea of placing quality before quantity in all things. The goal was not “more and newer,” but “better and higher" .This attitude was reflected not only in the manufacturing of material goods, but also in the realms of art and architecture, as well as in the social fabric of everyday life. The goal was for each new cohort of children to stand on a higher level than the preceding cohort: they were to be healthier, stronger, more intelligent, and more vibrant in every way.

The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.

Description:

This invention relates to a method and a system making it possible to increase the number of instructions transmitted in systems of remote control of television or radio receivers, and the like.

One of the known remote control systems is a system based on integrated circuits of the firm ITT. Similarly as in other systems, the instructions transmitted remotely are coded by a transmitter, for instance SAA1024, in an electric signal modulating a wave being able to propagate in the environment. In the receiver for instance SAA 1130, the coded electric signal is received and gives at its outputs the completely decoded output information signal and decoded output control signals.

In known application notes of the firm ITT the decoded output control signals control directly the receiving devices SAA1021, SAA1020. The decoder of information transmits also other decoded control signals, for instance analog adjustment signals, turning a signal on the power supply, and other signals necessary for the operation of the system. A certain part of the total number of instructions transmitted in the coded input signal constitutes a group of additional instructions for decoding by an additional instructions decoder controlled by the output signal.

The method of increasing the number of instructions transmitted in digital systems, i.a. in remote control systems of television receivers, according to the invention comprises transmitting in the control signal additional instructions which, on being decoded in an instruction decoder and after processing in a circuit for generating strobing signals, strobe the operation of additional controlled devices and control the transmission of the control signal through a register to main controlled units. In the system according to the invention two variants of operation of the system are distinguished. In the first variant an inhibiting signal coming out of the strobing signal generation circuit enables storage by the register of the real values being decoded, the output control signals, and controls with a suitable signal the main controlled units, while blocking by another suitable signal the additional controlled devices. In the second variant of the method according to the invention, after transmission of the additional instruction in the input signal, the storage inhibiting signal inhibits the register which stores the previous instruction and interruptedly controls the controlled unit, whereby simultaneously another strobing signal enables the additional controlled units to receive the controlling instruction.

In the system according to the invention the controlling of additional units is performed in the course of uninterrupted operation of controlled units.

In the system for increasing the number of instructions transmitted in digital systems, i.a. in remote control systems of television receivers, according to the invention, between one output of the instruction decoder and first controlled units a register is connected, having an additional input for a recording inhibiting signal, whereas to another output of the instruction decoder a strobing signal generation circuit is connected for controlling additional controlled units.

The inputs of the additional controlled units are connected with any outputs of the instruction decoder and with outputs of a register of the strobing circuit. The register and the strobing generation circuit, employed in the system according to the invention, can be built-in in one integrated circuit or may be made in the form of separate integrated circuits.

Referring to the aforementioned system of the firm ITT, the list of instructions thereof comprises 10 instructions used for basic servicing of the television receivers, 16 instructions for program selection and 5 additional instructions. In the method according to the invention, by using all the additional instructions, additionally 5×16 instructions are obtained. The number of all useful instructions in the method according to the invention amounts to 10+16+5×16=106 instructions, and thus by 75 instructions more than it was foreseen by the manufacturer of said systems.

Employing of the method and the system in a simple constructional arrangement enables one to multiply the number of transmitted signals, and simultaneously the number of units to be controlled. With reference to the system of the firm ITT, based on integrated circuits SAA1024, SAA1130, SAA1021, SAA1020, this enables one to employ additionally a teletext, a time programmer, an electronic watch, remote control of a radio receiver, tuning of a second head to observe another program, and other uses that were not possible and not foreseen by the manufacturer of said circuits.

The method and system according to the invention will be now described by means of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:

FIG. 1 is the block diagram of the system, and

FIG. 2 is the connection diagram of the strobing circuit.

The system of an instruction invention consists of the decoder 1, one output of which is connected through a register 2 with units 3 to be controlled. Another output of the instruction decoder 1 is connected with a strobing signal generation system 4 to the output of which is connected an additional controlled unit 5 having inputs connected with either output of the decoder 1.

The strobing circuit 4 is equipped with a decoder 12 an output 13 of which is connected with the clearing input of a register 14, and outputs 15, 16, 17, 18 of which are connected with the recording inputs of the register 14. The registers outputs 19, 20, 21, and 22, however, are connected with the additional unit 5 (FIG. 1) and with an adding gate 23, the output 10 of which is connected with the record inhibiting input of the register 14 and with the record inhibiting input of the register 2.

In the method according to the invention, the control signal 6 received by the instruction decoder 1 is decoded into groups of instructions 7 and 8. The instructions 8 after being processed in the strobing signal generating circuit 4 strobe the operation of additional devices 5 in the form of a signal 9, and in the form of the inhibiting signal 10 they control the operation of the register 2. A part of instructions 8, after processing in the strobbing circuit 4, enables with the signal 10 the transmission of the instructions 7 through the register 2 to the controlled units 3 in the form of the decoded control signal 11. Simultaneously, the decoded instruction 8 blocks with the strobing signal 9 the receiving of instructions 7 or 8 by the additional units 5 to be controlled. After transmitting the additional information from the second part of the instructions 8 in the signal 6, the instruction 8 after processing in the strobing signal generating circuit 4 blocks with the signal 10 the register 2, which stores the previous signal 7 and uninterruptedly controls the units 3 to be controlled, and simultaneously enables the additional controlled units 5 to receive instructions 7 or 8. The transmission of an erasing instruction in the signal 6 causes the return to the previous way of transmission and the turning off of the additional units 5.

The controlling of additional units 5 in the method according to the invention by means of the signal 7 or 8 is performed in the course of uninterrupted controlling of the units 3 by means of the signal 11 from the register 2.
