      The Trasler Co-Op NSD

      By Damian Trasler · Posted

      It's been almost a month since I last posted, because it's been almost a month since I last tried to work on Derek. I left the battery connections for the lights as they were and re-mounted the dome. Then I checked the lights. It is, of course, a gravity issue - when the battery is upside down (for me to work on the inside of the dome) it presses down on the contacts and the lights work. When the dome is right side up, the contacts are much less consistent, and we get flickering. So, what I need to do is take my nice new 3d printed 9v battery enclosure that holds the battery AND the connections, and wire that in. I had some time yesterday to do just that. DID I do that? No.   I took a cheap Blu-tooth speaker (and by cheap, I mean $5. What's that in Pounds? Between two and three quid.) and I disassembled it. That wasn't hard, you can imagine the engineering expertise involved in assembling a $5 speaker. I removed the casing and the speaker itself, wired in a bigger speaker (Bigger in size. In terms of amps, watts, flock speed, forward momentum, quark overload capacity....I don't know.) and then bodged everything together so the speaker can be screwed to the inside of the neck cage and the control panel (such as it is - on/off, volume up/down/ mode) is available to the driver without blocking the view or the rotation handle. The one decent thing about this cheap speaker is it also has an AUX IN port, so we can use it to play pre-recorded things without having to use a blu-tooth connection. Why? Well, I don't know about the rest of the civilised world and the USA, but whenever I play a recording through blu-tooth, I lose the first second or two. On a five-minute audio book track, or a music track, that first second is usually blank, but with captured dalek sounds, you end up with Derek shouting "-ERMINATE!" or "-OCTOR HAS BEEN SIGHTED!"   It might just be me, because even when I have my phone physically plugged into the car stereo, I get the occasional stutter in the audio. Why? It's not like the needle skips, or the electrons suddenly pile up in the middle of the cable. It's just me.   So, Derek has his ears back on, but I'll have to tape them up so I can re-spray the damaged area of dome. I'll have to fit and test the new battery setup. I'll have to try and fit the new speaker system, and test it, but my driver might be dropping by after they've seen The Odyssey this afternoon. I heard it took Odysseus ten years to get home, so I hope they're skipping some of the stuff in the movie. Maybe he spent a lot of time in traffic jams? But all this has to wait for me to get the skirting boards back on the upstairs landing now the new carpet is in. I know it seems like I do a lot of the work, but my wife has bravely volunteered to do the brunch with her friends this morning, so really it's a partnership effort.

      This is just the beginning... soon the cat will use the Dalek to take over the world. I am down to one cat and I'm sure he's plotting to take over the world. I'm concerned he's conspiring with Davros...
