Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
I've uploaded a number of model photos, a couple of hand-drawn reverse-engineered schematics, and a handful of valuations from auctions that I've attended. Doing this gives you a lot of 'points' that provide you with as many downloads as you're ever likely to need.
Since I joined RM a few years ago, it seems to have become even more comprehensive. The rules appear a bit arcane to begin with, but a little practice is amply rewarded.

My puzzlement arose because in English, the phrase 'super in general' implies a very highly specified product such as a top-of-the-range Dynatron, RGD or indeed an AR88. Unless I'm the only user with this misunderstanding, it would be good if the administrators were to correct the language. Martin

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
Yes, I agree, this is a very literal translation and is confusing. It is very revealing when somebody has nicked an RM description and put it on eBay or Gumtree etc. though.

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
That's the good thing about it
As a non-native English speaker I hadn't noticed the possible source of confusion. For someone who speaks Dutch the translation makes sense. Probably the same for a German speaker. |

I'm not a member, but most of us on here will see this phrase regularly. Slightly odd to those of us with only a single language, but you only really notice it once.

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
Typically, it's the English language, with its frequent use of the same word to mean two or more different things, that causes the confusion. "Super" can mean 'over or above' (as in the term 'supersonic heterodyne') or 'jolly good'. I vaguely recall from my schoolboy days that "super" is itself derived from the Latin adjective "superbus".
So whilst a superhet always involves a supersonic heterodyne, it doesn't necessarily have super performance.

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
I've not had any technical problems until recently, when I've simply not been able to add a hitherto unknown model with pics and schematics. First it says 'model does not exist' then when you create it, it says 'model exists!'. Then when I upload pictures it says 'create new model first' then says 'pictures accepted'. Then I get an email saying my model has been rejected because it already exists...and when I check to see, it says it does not exist! I've pulled out what's left of my hair...which is already very little.

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
I have successfully added one model and the second is in the process in the last week or so without these difficulties.
It's always worth checking what's going on in the pending model page which can be reached from your home page, Other Links, Pending Model numbers or of course Pending Manufacturers Brands as appropriate. You can then see what the status is and add pictures or circuits quite easily. You can also see the process of approval/rejection. You need to be logged in. If I have any complaint and it is a small one is that only 2 devices can be registered at any one time but I use 5 different devices daily Cheers Mike T

Re: Radiomuseum.org Can somebody talk me through how it works, please?
I don't understand. If I go to 'home', where next? There's no 'other links'
