Tools from the old world

[Jure]

For 1Eur I bought this retro car set today Contains handle and four (PH1-PH4) exchangeable tips in a metal case.

The handle is quite big - I took one picture with Zippo, just for imagination

dope!,looks super mint and man for only 1 euro,its made in russia for lada right? btw where you found it?

 

[AutomatiquE]

@Jure, nice Rahsol set Pure collector

@dykmore : Interresting find Do you know where it was made ? Russia ? Belarus ? Ukraine ? Also, do you think the handle is made of Bakelite or regular plastic ?

 

[dykmore]

@Automatique: I thought about the material before your question, but You found it just now - I think it is made of Bakelite.

@Jure: Bought it in local pawnshop, they have plenty of old tools there. About the car, I don't know, and I can't read cyrillic also - maybe somebody here will recognize that vehicle

[AutomatiquE]

Ahhh Jure was faster than me...

dykmore : the car in question printed on your tool box is a Lada 1600

[Trucky]

Lada? No wonder I didn't have a clue -_-

 

[dykmore]

Hmm, in my eyes it looks more like Moskvič 408 than Lada...

I'm with Jure, it's a Lada. Look at the over-riders and the number plate surround.

Hello,
My name is Cliceu, I live in Brazil, I am an electronics technician and work in telecommunication area.
I found this forum during my search to buy new tools, many inspired this post. I will show my new tools in the sequence.

Thank you Monte for creating this topic, some answers for you.
Pictures of some places where I work.

Gedore Brazil.

Close to Monte.

Brazil stamped on almost everything produced here.

Our professional line Bosch are blue:

Made in Brazil, high quality, works for hours without stopping, and most importantly does not fail .

@Cliceu - welcome! Interesting photo when hanging with hands up

cliceu, as dykmore already so aptly said: Willkommen an board! (pun intended)

nice mugshot @workplace too!


gotta be on the lookout for one of those brasilian pressure washers...

And I picked up some Heyco combi-pliers too. The thing I like is they are very thin... Anybody knows how old they can be?

the ones i do have are from Unior, "160"(model/size?), bought "new" on a street corner in Trieste for 3€, overall finish and "hand-ability" - yeah, i do make-up words as i go - are quite good and better than the other one that is from "Hapewe Germany" which looks exactly like yours and is not that good looking as the Unior notas smooth to use, but hey! for 1 euro you can't expect the finish of a 3€ one! both are useful and way thinner than the classical combi-pliers...

crappy phone pixes as usual...

Yes, just few miles from Chernobyl, Ukraine.

Wow this thread took an interesting turn. So what frequencies do they use?

(Radio especially MW and SW is another hobby of mine.)

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Wow this thread took an interesting turn. So what frequencies do they use?

They were used for Soviet radio transmissions, decomissioned in '89. (Even though the Chernobyl disaster was in '86 they were still in some use, but towards the end of the Soviet Union then were taken out of service.)

 

[Trucky]

Transmissions indeed, but nothing worthwhile. That's why the called it the woodpecker, from the "sound" it transmitted. For years! I don't think we know the point of it, even now. They do look rather cool though

@flyingkite : Very intersting topic about the Duga, thanks a lot

@Moose-LandTran : You're a well informed person too
Also, congratulations for your ball joint separator, very impressive ! what's the weight (in kg. please) ?

I like Soviet history, it's fascinating. Have you heard of Ekranoplans?

Thanks, the separator weighs in at 2.935kg. It was EUR 84.80, including shipping from Germany to England, bought through Amazon.de. Much cheaper than i had expected it to be, seems Kukko's pricing is very reasonable.

Do you have many Unior tools? I have a number of their Ribe-CV socket drivers and hex keys, all of which are very nice quality. I don't know their country of origin though. They all seem very well made, but i haven't had a chance to use the Ribe drivers yet.

I was surprised when you identified the product on the fly, now I know why. Ham radio operators were not the only ones who were in trouble with the reception due to the interference from Woodpecker, a lot of official complaints flooded soviet authorities in 1976.

This over-the-horizon radar never worked on the fixed frequency. A very sophisticated system scanned SW frequency range ( 7 to 19 MHz) and selected work channel with the optimal signal to noise ratio and the best radio wave propagation. After setting work frequency scanner continued search for the the backup channels switching to one of them immediately after reception in the work channel has deteriorated.

That's why sometimes amateur radio operators were able to combat this interference from Woodpecker by transmitting synchronized unpopulated continuous wave signals at the same pulse rate as the offending signal. They even formed a club called the Woodpecker Hunting Club.

The growing number of official complaints (mostly from Sweden and Norway) caused system developers to create a black list of the forbidden frequencies compiled from the complaints.

Now it's a history.

No, different systems and different frequency bands.



The closest US analog was AN/TPS-71 ROTHR (Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar).
