Inigo Kennedy - Arcing 

Hey everyone... update on the Philco 39-45. In short... things are still weird. 

But first!

Here are some photos of that tube cap wire I said I was going to replace. It’s replaced now. Huzzah!

So, I did some troubleshooting today and it was one of the #78 tubes that was arcing under the chassis. At first I thought that the tube might be bad, so I tested it on my Triplet tube tester and it tested fine.

I swapped it out anyway, and the radio seemed to work ok after that.

However... I would occasionally get a weird oscillation when the radio was on for a bit. It tunes in stations just fine, but sometimes this loud hum starts up. It gets quieter when I turn the radio volume up, but doesn’t seem affected by tuning in a new station.

Maybe it’s an issue in the amplifier section of the radio? I thought it might be a bad oscillator tube so I tried swapping it out, but that didn’t seem to make a difference.

Then, I tried swapping out the #78 tube with another one I had that was new-old-stock. That one restarted the arcing problem, and now swapping back to the one that was working, it arcs also.  :|

So... I’m going to check the coil that ties in to that tube socket. It’s the only part of the radio that I didn’t look at or check. Maybe there’s a resistor in there that needs to be replaced, but I’m not convinced that the coil is the problem. Going to have to do some more thinking now and try to figure this out.

If any of you out there have any thoughts, please feel free to share.

LL Orionis: When Cosmic Winds Collide

Explanation: What created this great arc in space? This arcing, graceful structure is actually a bow shock about half a light-year across, created as the wind from young star LL Orionis collides with the Orion Nebula flow. Adrift in Orion's stellar nursery and still in its formative years, variable star LL Orionis produces a wind more energetic than the wind from our own middle-aged sun. As the fast stellar wind runs into slow moving gas a shock front is formed, analogous to the bow wave of a boat moving through water or a plane traveling at supersonic speed. The slower gas is flowing away from the Orion Nebula's hot central star cluster, the Trapezium, located off the lower right hand edge of the picture. In three dimensions, LL Ori's wrap-around shock front is shaped like a bowl that appears brightest when viewed along the "bottom" edge. The complex stellar nursery in Orion shows a myriad of similar fluid shapes associated with star formation, including the bow shock surrounding a faint star at the upper right. Part of a mosaic covering the Great Nebula in Orion, this composite color image was recorded in 1995 by the Hubble Space Telescope.

A year ago, my novelette, Arcing, came out on audiobook. In celebration, it's on sale at Chirp, Apple, and Nook and available from your favorite audiobook app!

Arcing is actually a parallel story to Worlds Divide. Reading Worlds Divide will give you a better understanding of the circumstances in Arcing (which starts and finishes later than Worlds Divide.) But you can get Arcing on sale now! (And read it after Worlds Divide.)

When a tragic event splits Rosa's family apart, she finds herself on her own embracing freedoms she's never had. She meets Dan on one such night of freedom.

Dan has dreamed of otherworldy Rosas since he was young, but never thought he'd meet her in his life. When he finally does, he can't get her out of his mind.

Just as everything is looking up for Rosa - she's found a man she loves and her life is stablizing - she's forced to confront her own complicitness in her family's destruction. Will Rosa choose love or family?

"It's a beautiful story about love, loss, grief, and infidelity." - Finnialla, editor of Pulp Lit Mag
