One of my pieces of bench equipment needed some minor maintenance recently.
This Eico 147A Signal Tracer, used for tracking audio down in equipment as well as pulling a demodulated signal off AM circuits, needed a new line cord. There really wasn’t a lot to do here save to be careful when working around older components.
The device itself is very clean inside, and appears to have seen very little actual use before my acquisition. As you can see by the picture of the cord itself, it was well past time for replacement.

Welcome to Projects from the bottom drawer and wereboar.com. This blog used to be hosted on pygg.xyz, and was hosted on blogger.com before that. Pygg has since been relegated to a (poorly performing) redirect to here, and the blogger links are long gone.
Pygg was set up on July 4th so I could have a more personalized email address for job contacts, but I found out that .xyz domains do not really have a good trust factor in the world. When I was searching for a replacement domain, I ran across this one - wereboar.com - which had recently been released from it’s former use(s), which included a web design company, a “punk” merchandising site, and a placeholder site with nothing but questionable materials among other things. But wereboar follows the porcine theme of the page, and here we are.
If you’ve arrived at this page by scrolling through my blog, thank you. This is currently both the beginning and end, check back soon for more posts about hamfests, projects, and the random ramble about tech things.
If there’s something you’d like to see more of (or less!) then LinkedIn is a good way to contact me. If you’d like a more user-friendly venue, you can find me on Mastodon. That avenue is fairly new to me, it will generally follow new posts as they appear here, with comments and conversation.
I also post infrequently on satellite.earth, a nostr instance. This is a federated, decentralized social network that doesn’t limit what you can see. Anyone can post in this forum (with signup,) check it out if you’re interested.
Again, welcome, and thanks for stopping by. See you at the hamfest!
