Chapter 15 Refrigerator, Walkman, Tomorrow Will Be Better!

The local Phoenix refrigerator carries many memories of Minghai people like Gu Yu, as early as the eighties and early nineties, you can buy a sought-after Phoenix brand refrigerator with a ticket.

At the end of the nineties, after 2000, the Phoenix brand refrigerator began to gradually lose its market position and eventually died out......

At present, the new Phoenix brand refrigerator sells for more than 800 yuan, and the old refrigerator that has just been displayed looks four or five percent new, and the stall owner offers 150 yuan, saying that it has just been collected from the demolition household at the east gate. Recently, a super-large-scale demolition of the old city is being carried out at the east gate of Mingzhou city center, and a super-large commercial plaza is planned to be built.

After Gu Yu plugged in the refrigerator, he found that it couldn't be refrigerated, and there was a huge abnormal sound of "click-......" inside the refrigerator.

"Master, you still have to sell such a bad refrigerator for 150 yuan?" After some observation, Gu Yu poked his head out of the refrigerator and asked.

"Hehe, I guess there is a small problem, just find a professional repair shop to fix it. You see, the appearance of this refrigerator is quite new......" the stall owner scoffed.

"Master, I bought this refrigerator for use, not for use as a vase at home! And if I buy it and send it to a repair shop, it will cost me a lot of money, right? ”

"Okay, little brother, if you buy it sincerely, take it for 100 yuan!"

"$100 is too expensive."

"Then you name a number, how much?"

"Up to $50."

"Little brother, it's so hot, there's not much nonsense. We both give in, 80 yuan, a fixed price! Couldn't be cheaper. ”

Gu Yu thought for a moment: "Okay, it's 80 yuan." Then please call me a cheap tricycle to transport away. ”

Before buying this old refrigerator for 80 yuan, Gu Yu bought a bad Jinghua brand tape Walkman for 15 yuan at the stall next door.

The current domestic walkman market used to be the world of foreign brands such as Sony, Aihua, and Panasonic, and the above three brands are the kings of the walkman.

In the mid-nineties, domestic walkman brands such as Jinghua gradually appeared.

The old Jinghua brand tape walkman sold at this stall, Gu Yu took a closer look, one of the belts inside was broken, and there was a wiring under the magnetic head that seemed to be loose, and the other parts initially seemed to be working normally.

After buying the old refrigerator, Gu Yu spent 3 yuan and called a tricycle to deliver the old refrigerator to an electrical repair shop near Xihe Street.

I gave the owner of the repair shop 10 yuan, borrowed the tools in the shop, and spent more than half an hour repairing the Phoenix brand refrigerator.

When observing this old Phoenix brand refrigerator just now, Gu Yu had already roughly discovered the problem: the original owner was not well maintained, and the pipeline system in the refrigerator was corroded and slightly leaked, resulting in the lack of refrigerant.

Gu Yu used the welding torch in the repair shop to repair the corroded copper pipe, and after adding some Freon refrigerant, the old Phoenix refrigerator was rejuvenated and worked normally again.

Looking at the normal operation of the refrigerator, Gu Yu was happy, he spent 90 yuan to buy an old refrigerator that was four or five percent new, which was definitely cost-effective!

When Gu Yu's rented tricycle "squeak, squeak" carried the refrigerator to the door of the house, he startled the grandmother who was washing clothes on the stone slab at the door.

"Xiaoyu, ...... are you?"

"Grandma, I bought a second-hand refrigerator. In the future, we can eat chilled watermelon and make our own popsicles! ”

"How much does this cost?"

"It's cheap, it's only 80 yuan."

"80 bucks, so cheap? Can this old refrigerator work well? At this time, the grandfather who was making the briquette stove also came over, "Wow, it's still Phoenix!" ”

"Grandpa, it's okay, let's carry it in and try it!"

While talking, the driver of the tricycle and Gu Yu helped move the refrigerator into the kitchen on the first floor.

Grandpa Gu Xiande found a power strip, and after connecting the electricity, the refrigerator made a slight humming sound and began to work.

After four or five minutes, it's already cold inside the freezer.

Gu Xiande reached in, tried it out, and exclaimed happily: "Hey, it's really good!" ”

Just when grandpa and grandma were busy figuring out the function of using the refrigerator, Gu Yu went up to the attic where he lived and began to study the Jinghua brand tape Walkman.

When passing by the computer, electronics and electrical appliances street on Jiefang Road in front, Gu Yu bought a new Walkman belt.

He first removed the 5 screws on the front panel of the Jinghua Walkman, if it was just to change the belt and did not need to remove the rear panel, it was enough to remove the front panel.

This walkman has a total of two layers of circuit boards, one upper and one bottom. To change the belt, you only need to remove the "upper circuit board".

When the "upper board" is removed, there is also a black plastic gasket underneath.

Gu Yu took off the black plastic gasket, and he could see the "lower circuit board".

After opening, the aging belt breaks inside.

Gu Yu carefully took out the old belt with a clip and replaced it with a new one.

The insertion of the new belt is also very skillful: the belt is snapped into the top left corner of the plastic gear, then wound around the small copper ring on the motor, then to the middle ring, and finally to the rightmost copper ring.

The belt is smoothly wound to the copper ring, and the belt cannot be twisted and folded when wound. If the belt is twisted and folded, the sound will not be normal.

After the belt was wound, Gu Yu manually turned the large copper ring on the far right, turned it a few times, and saw that the belt was not twisted and was very smooth.

This new belt is replaced.

Then, Gu Yu removed all the upper and lower circuit boards inside, unscrewed the screws, and then removed the entire mechanical mechanism of the Walkman.

The mechanism is removed, and the head part can be seen when it is turned over.

One of the red wires on the back of the magnetic head was desoldered, and Gu Yu re-soldered the red wire with an electric soldering iron.

Then Gu Yu used a clean cotton ball dipped in a little high-purity alcohol to clean the dirt on the magnetic head.

Finally, according to the original dismantling steps, Gu Yu put the mechanical mechanism back in its original place.

Then put the black plastic gasket back, put the upper circuit board on the plastic gasket, screw the screws back to the upper circuit board, and then install the front panel, and then screw back the 5 screws on the front panel, so that the steps of changing the belt and repairing the magnetic head are basically completed.

After placing the battery, Gu Yu put in the newly purchased plate of Zhou Huajian's latest album "Friends".

Pressing the play button, the passionate musical accompaniment and Zhou Huajian's penetrating and violent singing voice came from the earphones:

"Over the years, a person, the wind has passed, and the rain has gone

There have been tears, there have been mistakes, remember what to hold onto......"

Gu Yu waved his fist excitedly, oh also, the repair was successful!

At dinner in the evening, grandpa and grandma were very happy, because the family had added a new major appliance: the refrigerator that was most needed in the hot summer.

As soon as grandma was happy, grandpa could drink some wine again.

Grandpa happily sipped a little wine, ate peanuts, and hummed a Yue opera: "Sister Lin fell from the sky, like a light cloud just coming out, only to say that he was reckless and frivolous in his belly, but it turned out that his bones were strange and unconventional......"

Grandma smiled and gave Gu Yu a braised lion's head: "Your grandfather is a person who is easy to get carried away when he is happy." Xiaoyu, thanks to you, our family can now use refrigerators, I really didn't expect it! ”

"Grandma, we will have a better life in the future!"
