Text of the page (random words):
thing is open to debate but shall we tell him to stop falling off a 2 metre stage is extreme but falling off a 1 metre mic stand by accident could happen to anyone even you dear reader in your living room building the theremin with the standard techniques and good sense that i mention would result in a unit that would resist more common situations as well this is why i believe my comments about its durability are reasonable and i stand behind my other comments about numerous aspects of the design that could be better in parallel with the evolution of modern music and performances manufacturers like gibson and fender succeeded by making their guitars and amplifiers more durable to stand up to contemporary use this built their brands reputations and contributed to their success i believe that moog would serve their own interests by improving the durability and usability of their product in performance situations robert moog is no longer with us but i believe that as an honest engineer he would own up to my criticisms even if you debate my points concerning the wooden case the power connector is a better example even children s toys are better constructed than this imagine if the door handle of you car were held on by three thin wires one day it would probably pull off and you d ask why didn t ford put this on with bolts and my points when taken as a whole show that the etherwave was designed for static home or studio use and not for performance in public otherwise why the absence of a power indicator this story reminds me of the vox continental 2 organ used in my other group this was a brilliant innovative electronic design and sounds wonderful but any vox owner will tell you that the physical design is a catastrophe and it is constantly in need of repair flimsy construction fragile wires etc in 1965 the designers were clearly stuck in a mentality where the instrument would never go further than the user s living room or a recording studio once in a real world of touring the organ falls apart and becomes a liability later electronic organs are less fragile and more practical for the real world filed under arts music text in english top tips vie pratique 2 comments silvertone 1457 tune up 25sep14 fr quelques tuyaux pour bricoler votre silvertone à vos risques et périls i love my sears silvertone 1457 guitar cheaply built almost 60 years ago and apparently stored in a damp closet for a while it deserved a little tune up here is what i did note i have no training in guitar repair i will take no responsibility for the content of this article or its consequences proceed at your own risk i drilled a new hole and moved the strap button to a better position so the strap doesn t fall off all the time click on photos to enlarge them i removed the strings the knobs and then the pickguard careful it s fragile and the electronics are attached and cleaned the electronic components with a cleaning spray i cleaned the crud off the pickguard and knobs i used very fine 400 emery cloth lightly moving along the fret not up and down to clean the crud off i masked the rosewood with masking tape when sanding each fret to avoid damaging it i then cleaned the neck and fretboard with a guitar cleaning product the tuning pegs did not turn smoothly i removed the tuning pegs a couple of screws and they come out neatly and cleaned them and then applied lithium grease to all friction points on the gears and on the plates the original rosewood bridge saddle was badly worn with repercussions on the guitar s sound i found an original new old stock saddle on the internet there are also modern replacement saddles available another approach would have been to replace the bridge with a metal adjustable one i wanted to lower the action height of strings above the neck but the top end of the bridge is held up by 2 wood screws that could not go any deeper in the body tightening them further would have made them pierce the body and stick out the back the bottom end of the bridge is also held by a wood screw and in order to keep the strings tight against the saddle this one must go in further as well so i used a metal saw to remove a few millimeters from each screw allowing their heads to go lower this could have also been accomplished with a bench grinder or perhaps by changing to shorter screws i put a washer under the bottom screw to raise the bridge slightly making more space for the balls on the ends of the strings to catch under the bridge so they don t slip out having replaced the saddle and lowered the bridge it s time to set the intonation here s how i do it i don t claim it s correct tighten the screw on the back of the saddle so you can still move it a little bit position the saddle in a reasonable place and mount the bridge put on low e string stretch it tune it now fret at the octave position and adjust the left side of the saddle to tune to e put on high e string stretch it tune it now fret at the octave position and adjust the right side of the saddle to tune to e tune low e string verify intonation of both strings and correct if necessary put on b string stretch it tune it now fret at the octave position and adjust the right side of the saddle to tune to b there are now enough strings to hold the saddle in place it should not move easily any more tune all three strings verify intonation of all three strings and correct if necessary put on one by one a g d and tune all strings each time verify intonation you can now set the height of the pickups using the screws on the back of the guitar i put them close to the strings for more volume but not too close or else they will buzz i have heard that it s good to put some graphite on the slots in the nut when changing strings to help the strings slide especially since the beautiful angular arrangement of the strings puts a lot of lateral stress on the string as it passes through the nut also i have a theory that the low e string should be wound around the tuning peg in the opposite direction to reduce the angle and make it look better if you try it you will see that it s logical yes this means you turn it the opposite way to tune it a couple of years later i became friends with a guitar maker and asked him what he could do to improve the silvertone first he made two cutouts in the bridge saddle so that it follows the intonation better then he fabricated a nut out of bone to replace the very worn aluminum one finally he did a proper setup the guitar looks and plays much better now good luck with your

solidaires dans la société américaine fin 19e this autobiography of a career criminal is also a fascinating portrait of the american proletarian criminal class and their associates at the end of the 19th century from hobos hopping trains and being beaten mercilessly by railroad bulls to salt chunk mary an incredible character and the best fence for stolen property in the west black pops in and out of jail while continuously improving his connections with a widespread and mutually supportive underworld when one is in trouble friends all pitch in a socialist model in stark contrast to the prevailing mentality in america in passing he profits from his experiences to provide first hand social criticism that was surely radical at the time and still bears up i ve read a number of books of this type edward bunker s education of a felon is an interesting comparison during my reading i was increasingly disturbed by a nagging doubt was the book genuine the lack of documented detail 1 and candide like structure were capped by the classic exploitation formula a final chapter of the form i hope my story will serve as a warning to stay away from the criminal life does this make me more of a skeptic or less gullible than william s burroughs who cites the book as a key influence perhaps but now we have the internet some searching led me to on line archives of the san francisco call the newspaper run by fremont older a progressive with faith in the inner goodness of black who bargained him out of jail and set him on the good path i discovered something marvelous the timidity of black to set out the gory details of his criminal life did not affect the reporters who covered the police blotter for the sf call 4 quite the opposite here are a few examples that make for entertaining reading and that also removed any remaining doubts about the authenticity of black and his adventures i suppose we have to take into account the vast differences in society and what has become allowable in literature since 1926 but imagine if he had let loose with all the nasty details that even the reporters didn t know whew what a book that would have been 2 links below it was not long after black landed at ingleside jail five years ago that he became a power within the walls he set himself as the commercial king and sold the most sought after commodity dope it is known that when in his cell black sold shots of morphine through the wicket to other prisoners at 10 cents for each hypodermic injection he would insert the needle in the customer s arm inject the shot and collect his fee san francisco call volume 111 number 36 5 january 1912 black was the wealthiest man in the county jail not excepting the officials he was known as the king of the opium ring and made a small fortune in the sale of morphine and cocaine to the other prisoners who desired the drugs it is known that several days before his departure he had 2 700 of his own money strapped about his waist in a money belt two weeks ago he told a grand juror who was inquiring into conditions in the jail that his bank roll amounted to 2 000 among his other possessions he had diamonds unset solitaire clustered and watches and other jewelry he was abundantly supplied with expensive clothes of the latest fashion san francisco call volume 111 number 36 5 january 1912 when the officers attempted to place the suspect under arrest black drew a revolver before he could make use of the weapon however the detectives closed in on him a desperate struggle ensued and black was not subdued until beaten almost into insensibility san francisco call volume 95 number 138 16 april 1904 a remarkable detail is the prevalence of opium sales and consumption by chinese people who seem to have their own separate underground society in one scene black is in an unfamiliar town and needs a hit of hop opium 3 he simply looks for a chinese laundry in the way that someone today might look for a mcdonalds knowing in advance what is on the menu another recurring theme is corruption in the criminal justice system and the book finishes with an appeal for its reform black repeatedly buys himself out of situations in the most matter of fact way at least today these practices are more concealed overall an interesting read in spite of my regrets over what this book could have been thanks to my friend phil for recommending it and to my old neighbors ak press in sf and amok in la for putting it out 1 for example when he steals a fake ruby he says strangely it never made the papers 2 the book s excellent afterword written by bruno ruhland lifts a phrase from an article without crediting it while nevertheless citing the wrong date 1906 black in 1904 caused a reign of terror in the mission district during the course of a number of daring robberies and holdups cf sf call 24 december 1912 3 now i know where the fifties term hop head came from 4 here are links to these articles which are well worth

even the most elementary heuristic cleanup on the scans leaving things like numbers and capital letters in the middle of words it relies on crowd sourcing cf wikipedia the kindness of strangers to come in and fix up the lousy scans as a public service i located as many articles as i could about jack black and manually corrected them example a kriox a valencia street gf roceiy identifies him as
