Did the Heathkit SB-303 use tubes? Nuff said there. The speech compressor is
housed in an aluminum cabinet painted gray, is about 5 in wide, 3 1/2 inches
tall and 7 inches deep.It has a black face panel with four knobs at the top
labeled left to right-Gain, Blanker, Level and Volume. At the bottom is a 4
pin male mic input on the left, a in/out, off/on switch in the bottom middle
and a 1/4 inch phones jack on the bottom right.
There are no names on the unit, inside or out. No model numer, serial number
or anything.
That is a basic description of what was in the picture. I posted to the
group with a picture due to the fact there were no names or any info on or
in the unit. I was not expecting to be jumped on like a piece of meat in a
lions den. Never dreamed hams could be so nasty. And I do post pics in quite
a few groups. If this one can't handle a pic for informational purposes,
what good is it? I look at it this way, if you don't like what I do, stay in
your own yard and don't look over the hedge row and I will do the same.
Thats the problem with the world today, everybody want to run something and
no one agrees on how to run it. Just ask Bill and Hillary Clinton.
And no, it does not use tubes, but one of the chips inside has a date of
1970, so it was built at the same time as many boat anchors. And yes google
does archive binary posts. Just looked at one a few minutes ago.

It's not his newsgroup, but he's telling you the proper way to deal
with this. It has nothing to do with this newsgroup, it has everything
to do with every newsgroup.
Take note that here, your message didn't even arrive. It was a binary
post, and the newsserver didn't bother to grab it. Since binary messages
do take up a lot of space, this isn't going to be the only place that
deleted the message. Take note also that binary messages are not saved at
the google archive, so anyone who reads the newsgroup there will never see
your message.
If people don't see your message, then nobody will be able to help you.
If people don't see the binary, then there's no sense in sending it in
the first place.
YOu expected the photo to convey all the information, which some/many
will not see, yet you gave no detail in text that would take infinitely
less space than the photo. SOmeone might recognize the name, yet the
only way they'll find out is by looking at the photo.
And since were at it, what makes you think the unit is a boatanchor?
Does it use tubes?

Anyone know who made this speech compressor and maybe even what type
batteries it uses?
Thanks in advance,

Please don't post binaries to a text-only newsgroup. There are a
number of reasons for this, including (but not limited to):
(1) Many people, particularly outside the U.S., use a text-based
reader for Usenet that cannot handle binary images. Your encoded
information would have shown up as page after page of text gibberish to
them, which puts a real crimp in the possibility that someone overseas
might know an answer to your question.
(2) It wastes bandwidth. ISPs who carry the non-binary side of the
Usenet hierarchy expect them to stay that way.
(3) Perhaps most important: There are many folks, again outside
the U.S., who may not be able to get anything other than a dialup pay-
per-kilobyte-downloaded Internet hookup. By posting a binary to a non-
binary group, you are forcing them to download something that they may
not want to see, and that increases their connection cost.
The correct way to handle what you did here would have been to
post the picture of the device on a web site, then include a link in
your Usenet posting that points towards the picture.
Good luck identifying your unit.
