Technicolor Light meter find.

This meter came to me via thrift and I had no idea what I had found.

I was lucky enough that the leather case had the address and numbers for a William V. Skall. After using some online phonebook archives in California, I found some truth that this was his issued meter. Skall was an academy award winning Cinematographer/Director of Photography, did work on “Joan of Arc” and even worked with Alfred Hitchcock on “The Rope” to name a few.

Please take care of each other.

Hi folks! Sorry for the delay in posts.

I have been trying to find a way to have someone call, control something, as well as actively hear the changes. I found thrift shopping this Linksys made Two (2) line SIP Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) and at the local re-use place, this BroadcastTools line-Powered Hybrid.

This “Hybrid” acts like a bridge between the milk crate rack and the ATA. Giving you access to the caller mono audio (ex. a request line) via a send and also allows you to take a mono signal and send it over to the ATA for consumption at a remote location.

I also have been toying with the idea of trying to use DTMF to control things like relays. Maybe a drum trigger or gate of some sort?

Take care of each other.
