The Pearl Box:Definition - This is a box that may substitute for many boxes
|
|||
|
|
which produce tones in hertz. The Pearl Box when operated correctly can pro-
|
|||
|
|
duce tones from 1-9999hz. As you can see, 2600, 1633, 1336 and other crucial
|
|||
|
|
tones are obviously in its sound spectrum.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Materials you will need in order to build The Pearl Box:
|
|||
|
|
========================================================
|
|||
|
|
C1, C2::::::::.5mf or .5uf ceramic disk capacitors
|
|||
|
|
Q1::::::::::::NPN transistor (2N2222 works best)
|
|||
|
|
S1::::::::::::Normally open momentary SPST switch
|
|||
|
|
S2::::::::::::SPST toggle switch
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
SPKR::::::::::Standard 8-ohm speaker
|
|||
|
|
T1::::::::::::Mini transformer (8-ohm works best)
|
|||
|
|
Misc.:::::::::Wire, solder, soldering iron, PC board or perfboard, box to
|
|||
|
|
contain the completed unit, battery clip

Instructions for building The Pearl Box:

========================================

Since the instruction are EXTREMELY difficult to explain in words, you will be
|
|||
|
|
given a schematic instead. It will be quite difficult to follow but try it any
|
|||
|
|
way. There is also a Hi-Res picture you can get that shows the schematic in
|
|||
|
|
great detail.

Now that you are probably thoroughly confused, let me explain a few minor de-
|
|||
|
|
tails. The potentiometer area is rigged so that the left pole is connected to
|
|||
|
|
the center pole of the potentiometer next to it. The middle terminal of T1 is
|
|||
|
|
connected to the piece of wire that runs down to the end of the battery.

Correct operation of The Pearl Box:
|
|||
|
|
===================================
|
|||
|
|
You may want to get some dry-transfer decals at Radio Shack to make this job a
|
|||
|
|
lot easier. Also, some knobs for the tops of the potentiometers may be useful
|
|||
|
|
too. Use the decals to calibrate the knobs.
|
|||
|
|
R1 is the knob for the ones place, R2 is for the tens place, R3 if for the
|
|||
|
|
hundreds place and R4 is for the thousands place. S1 is for producing the all
|
|||
|
|
the tones and S2 is for power.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Step 1: Turn on the power and adjust the knobs for the desired tone.
|
|||
|
|
(Example: For 2600 hz- R1=0:R2=0:R3=6:R4=2)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Step 2: Hit the pushbutton switch and VWALA! You have the tone. If you don't
|
|||
|
|
have a tone recheck all connections and schematic.
