About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images
and text used on the RF Cafe website are hereby acknowl My Hobby Website: |

Mallory Advertisement |

What drew my attention with this P.R. Mallory & Company advertisement was not an actual electronic component that they are most noted for - potentiometers, capacitors, switches, metal alloys, and of course batteries (later renamed Duracell). Philip Rogers Mallory began his company manufacturing tungsten wire for lamps. Rather what interested me was the huge variety of standard potentiometer and rotary switch extension shafts. Unlike modern electronics where pots and switches are typically mounted to the enclosure with wires running to the circuit assembly, many older radios and televisions had all components mounted on a metal chassis with control extensions reaching to front-panel mounted dials and knobs. Believe it or not, people are selling these vintage advertisements on eBay; well, at least they're trying to sell them. Mallory Advertisement
Mallory Offers 12 Clutch Type Controls for use in Auto Receivers Mallory offers the widest range of resistance values in clutch type controls to fit every need. Four different values are available in the Universal Midget line (100M ohms, 250M ohms, 500M ohms, 1 megohm), and eight values in popular combinations of overall and tap resistances in our Tapped Midget line. Add these to the Plug-In Shafts you see at the right, and you can replace original controls in any auto set you name - not merely replace them but duplicate them mechanically and electrically. Get the complete story from your Mallory distributor. You Expect More ... and Get More ... from Mallory No Wobble - this ring prevents it! All Mallory Plug-In Shafts are made with a small ring as shown above. That's why they can't wobble or work loose - why they fit as securely as a fixed shaft.
