waste bandwidth?

all the below b/s and nobody has helped the guy out yet. ever heard of
a helpful, friendly email? oh, i forgot, that won't publicly embarrass
the guy.

and friend, to attempt to answer your question, i would start by taking
off the covers and looking inside. from the picture, i can't identify
the unit, maybe the inside will give you some clues. markings on parts,
etc. also, possibly matching the circuit to something out of a handbook.
just a thought.

i would not rule out a VERY nice homebrew unit. granted, the nice front
panel may be a stretch. but if the looks place in the 1960'/70's range,
there were some very talented amateurs doing homebrew back then. it is
also true that many small outfits were making modulators and speech
processors.

i know it's nothing definite, but maybe a place to start. all the best
and good luck.

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?

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.
