Chapter 13 The Olympic Rings Phonograph
Xue Gui's tracking, Tianze didn't find out, Tianze was very busy, because there were many guests. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Repair mobile phones, repair computers, repair CD players......
Tianze is the one who comes, and he does not refuse.
No, it's busy, and before you know it, it's night.
Tian Ze counted the banknotes in the drawer.
Boy.
It's more than 6,000 yuan!
This is only the second day of opening, and the turnover of one day has skyrocketed to 6,000 yuan, Tianze stuffed the money into his wallet with a happy face, and prepared to close the door and go home.
"Can you fix this thing here?" A neutral voice rang out.
Tianze raised his hand and saw that it was an old man.
Looking at the appearance of being over eighty years old, the gray sideburns are exposed under the military hat, and under the background of the cockade and collar badge, it shows a self-evident identity.
Although the old man was old, he still stood upright, maintaining a unique demeanor of a soldier. Under the old man's eyelids, there was a pair of charcoal-like points of light, staring at Tianze scorchingly.
Tian Ze's gaze looked at the old man's hands.
A brown crate.
No, there is a Colombian company logo on the outside of the lock, and the English abbreviation of Tianjin (TT) is also printed below, these are not the point, the point is that there is a five-ring logo on the front of the box, which is an Olympic five-ring gramophone!
The reason why Tianze can recognize this as a gramophone at a glance and say the brand of the telegraph is because Tianze has specially checked the historical data of China's participation in the Olympic Games.
At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the Chinese Army sent 69 members, much more than the first time to participate in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, and the atmosphere at that time was quite enthusiastic. In order to give strong support to the Olympic Games, Tianjin Zhongyuan Department Store cooperated with Columbia of the United States to launch the Olympic rings phonograph specifically for the Chinese market. Since this is the first time that China participated in and issued Olympic souvenirs, its historical and cultural significance is self-evident, for the economic conditions at that time, Tianjin Zhongyuan Department Store has paid too much hardship and effort for this matter, and has made indelible contributions to China's participation in the Olympic Games, and also reflects the Chinese's yearning for the Olympic Games for many years, and has been working hard, in order to integrate into the Olympic Games, step out of the country to realize the Olympic dream of the Chinese.
Even back then, the number of this version of the gramophone was very small.
And even more so now?
Perhaps, the one in the old man's hand is out of print.
Antiques!
Absolute forcing is more than what it is worth.
"Can you fix it?" The old man asked again, and Tian Ze could hear the longing in his voice.
"I'll take a look first."
Tianze does not have a packed ticket.
The PS system is awesome, but now it's only level 1! Only one repair function is opened, and it can only repair broken things (provided that there are no missing parts), once this Olympic rings phonograph is 'missing arms and legs', even if it is black technology, it is not easy to use.
"Well, then you'll see." The old man carefully put the gramophone on the counter, looking at the cautious appearance, where does it look like treating a gramophone?
Syllable! Tian Ze opened the lock, revealing the true face of the gramophone.
Seeing this, Tian Ze couldn't help frowning.
It's terrible!
The hand-cranked phonograph can be simply divided into: turntable, trumpet, tonearm, cartridge, not to mention, broken into several petals, wrapped in a piece of paper; The large horn, which had been cleverly placed in a corner of the box, also had a clear pit on it at this time, which almost flattened the horn; The tonearm is also crooked, and it comes with a 90-degree flip, and it almost breaks into two parts, which is actually not a big problem, because the parts are still complete, and they are all small dishes for the PS system.
The big problem is the cartridge part, the stylus in the cartridge to be exact, which is beyond the scope of repairs for the Level 1 PS system.
Who did this? It's a terrible thing.
It's a crime......
Tian Ze thought indignantly.
Old man? Looking at the old man's cautious treatment of the phonograph just now, it was obvious that he couldn't have done it.
"Can't you fix it?" The old man's face was disappointed, his voice was indescribably sad, and he gently stroked the scars on the gramophone, and his eyes flashed with tears.
However, as a soldier, the old man could only stop his tears.
"Can you tell us the story?"
Tian Ze said curiously.
"It was the early days of the Kuomintang/Communist/Cooperation, I met her, she was a gymnast, she was so beautiful at that time, she gave me this gramophone, it was a souvenir of her participation in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It's only later destroyed, but at that time people are lucky to be alive......" The old man fell into his own memories, sometimes smiling, sometimes resentful, sometimes sad, and even Tianze was brought into it.
For half an hour, the old man spoke, and Tianze listened.
Time seems to have stopped......
"Hey, people are getting old, and there are too many words, which delays your time." Finally, the old man shook his head, gently closed the gramophone's box, carefully picked up the gramophone, and turned around to leave with a lonely face.
The old man's straight back was a little hunched.
The pace also faltered......
"Wait, wait." Mo came, Tianze shouted to stop the old man.
The old man turned his head and looked at Tianze strangely.
"Old man, if you believe me, put the gramophone here with me, and tomorrow you can just come and pick it up, and I promise to fix it for you." Tian Ze patted his chest and said.
"Good!" The old man stared at Tianze's eyes for a few seconds, then put the gramophone back on the counter without hesitation, and strode away.
This kind of trust makes Tianze's heart warm.
You know, even if this Olympic rings gramophone breaks, it is worth a lot of money, and it can be sold for at least a million. Besides, for the old man, this is not only a gramophone, but also a kind of miss for her, and this gramophone carries her breath!
didn't say anything, didn't go home, locked the store door from the inside, and Tianze started work directly.
"System, load the watch machine on the workbench."
Tianze summoned the system.
"Drop! Start onboarding. In the midst of an electronic sound, the hologram of the phonograph appeared in the blue three-dimensional space of the PS system.
"Turn on scanning."
Tian Ze then ordered.
"Drop! Start scanning. ”
Half a minute passed before the PS system completed the scanning, and the electronic voice sounded again, "Drop!" After the scanning was completed, the loss rate of the gramophone was 66%, and the main damage position was the phonograph cartridge, which reached 90%, which was not completely repairable due to the lack of important parts. Other damaged positions include turntables, shells, speakers, and tonearms, and the loss rate ranges from 20%~70%, do you want to turn on the repair function now? ”
Immediately, the phonograph hologram in the space changed, from gray to green and red. Unlike everything else Tianze had repaired, the phonograph's holograms were almost always red, showing how badly damaged it was.
"Open, except for the shell, all other parts are repaired."
Tian Ze said immediately.
"Drop! The order confirms that the repair has officially begun, and now the repair part is the phonograph cartridge, and the repair process is 10%, 11%, and 12%...... "As the electronic sound continues to sound, the red in the screen image is fading little by little, and the phonograph cartridge on the workbench is also rapidly recovering at this moment.
“…… 79%, 80%, drop, due to the lack of important parts, the repair could not be continued, the solution was to upgrade the PS system to level 3. Sure enough, as Tianze expected, except for the lack of a stylus, the cartridge was repaired.
"Now start repairing the turntable, the repair process is 83%, 84%, 85% ......"
"Now start repairing the loudspeaker, the repair progress is 66%, 67%, 68% ......"
"Start repairing the tonearm now, the repair progress is 31%, 32%, 33% ......"
"Drop! Repairs completed. ”
Five minutes later, the gramophone on the workbench was brand new.
Except for the shell, it looks like it's new.
"This ...... It seems like an exaggeration! Tianze scratched his head, isn't it! This Olympic rings phonograph is an antique from decades ago, and now it looks new except for the shell! Even fools know there's a problem!
"No matter, let's make a stylus first." Tian Ze shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and began to prepare materials to make a stylus.
That's right, Tian Ze is ready to call it a day and make a stylus.
In fact, the stylus structure of this hand-cranked phonograph is very simple, and to put it bluntly, it is made of steel needles. The characteristic is that the tip of the needle in contact with the record should be cut into a triangular prism, the sharper the better; The part that is installed on the cartridge should be made cylindrical, and the pinhole can be inserted, which is too simple for Tianze.
Tian Zeke is a senior technician.
Even the simplest tools are enough to make a good stylus.
Just do it, Tianze immediately got busy.
