This is the old 1970s vintage amplifier that used to be installed at a small-town church that my grandfather used to attend. It's not a brand I had heard of before, but under the hood it's textbook '70s circuitry. Grab a drink and come enjoy some old circuitry nostalgia with me. Here is the constant voltage speaker Wiki article I referenced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-voltage_speaker_system And the manual for the amp: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/169620/Raymer-Amplifier-800-35a.html?page=4#manual ----- My tip jar: https://www.patreon.com/pileofstuff If you are OK with me getting a commission on your e-bay purchases, feel free to use my affiliate link: https://ebay.to/33IF7PA Some other links to products on e-bay may also be affiliate links https://lbry.tv/@pileofstuff https://odysee.com/@pileofstuff ----- This isn't the only way to do it.

Time to do a couple of easy upgrades to my track cleaning car (which was made from an old cheap trainset gondola). Upgrades include: metal wheels, lowering the carbody, and adding body mount Kadee couplers. End result: the car runs smoother, couples better, derails less and doesn't pick up as much gunk on the wheels. Here's the video where I built the track cleaner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC_s4TPz6vU ----- As with all of my videos, this isn't the only way to do it.
