It's not surprising that the iron corroded. =C2 It got a hot/cold cycle
on each engine run, and it was by no means sealed from the atmosphere.
=C2 On every warming it drove out the air in the tube and on every
cooldown it pulled in whatever was outside. =C2 It took 65 years, but it
finally gave up the ghost.

Perhaps, since it lasted such a short time, you could get it replaced
under warranty ;-)

I did the same thing that Joe did, but with only two antennas...I get 32
channels over the air (again, including the subchannels), here just
south of
Rochester NY, most from Rochester, but some of them from Buffalo.
Harley
How did you connect the 2 antennas together? Did you use an impedance
match
transformer at the antennas? A picture or a simple sketch would be
interesting.

Except for TV, nature abhors a vacuum.
My condolences, Joe. [Laughing]

OK, the above is one piece of the puzzle! I am assuming that you
connected
an impedance matching
transformer to each of the antennas then went through the above combiner
with the output
into a 75 ohm cable to the TV.

Yeah...I didn't mention them because as far as I'm concerned they
are part of the antenna themselves... as part of the construction.

A regular 75 ohm splitter can be turned around & used as a combiner for
a lot less money than the one shown with the DC pass-through (assuming
you don't need the pass-through):

The only need for a DC pass-through is if you're using some type of
remotely powered RF amp.
You can buy frequency selective filters that will reduce interference
from 2 antennas seeing the same station, but as others have
demonstrated, you often don't need them.

Send me the probe if you like. I can probably refurbish it.

Actually Dave, that thread looks like 1/4"NPT, give me the length below the threads
and I can make a whole new probe.

| Subject: | Lucas Electrical Theory |
For your holiday laughs.
ELECTRICAL THEORY BY JOSEPH LUCAS
Positive ground depends on proper circuit functioning, which is the
transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectral
manifestation known as =93smoke=94. Smoke is the thing that makes electrica
l
circuits work. We know this to be true because every time one lets the
smoke out of an electrical circuit, it stops working. This can be verified
repeatedly through empirical testing.
For example, if one places a copper bar across the terminals of a battery,
prodigious quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases
to function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an electrical
component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also be observed that
the component no longer functions. The logic is elementary and inescapable!
The function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device
to another. When the wiring springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of
the system, nothing works afterward.
Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for some
time largely because they consumed large quantities of smoke, requiring
very unsightly large wires.
It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly more
prone to electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or American
counterparts. Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British, and
all things British leak. British engines leak oil, British shock absorbers,
hydraulic forks and disk brake systems leak fluid, British tires leak air
and British Intelligence leaks national defense secrets.
Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak smoke. Once
again, the logic is clear and inescapable.
In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy in
the form of smoke provides a logical explanation of the mysteries of
electrical components especially British units manufactured by Joseph
Lucas, Ltd.
And remember: =93A gentleman does not motor about after dark.=94
Joseph Lucas =93The Prince of Darkness=94
1842-1903
A few Lucas quips:
The Lucas motto: =93Get home before dark.=94
Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.
Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three
switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.
The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.
If Lucas made guns, wars would not start
Back in the =9170s, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began
manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which
did not suck.
Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their
refrigerators.
This has been referred to as the smoke theory, when the smoke comes out
it's finished, cooked or done for.
