VIA Metro Streetcar
This was a video I recorded in 2019. In the months after this video, the streetcars VIA Metropolitan Transit owned and operated were put out of service indefinitely.
Not only that, but Alamo street was closed and integrated into the historic Alamo area. Furthermore, the shops across the street from the Alamo are going to soon be closed as well for other endeavors the City of San Antonio has planned.

Episode 5 (S5) Testing a Transformer and Observing Utility Voltage
Glad I saw your review because thought it was broken. But now know it takes a few min to turn on/off
These are awesome bulbs. I have the 13 watt version (100 watt equivalent) in my front light. It works great, turns on when it starts to get dark out and off when I senses daylight. I have all GE bulbs some are 6 years old and still work perfectly.
3 way?
I tested this bulb outside during daylight hours to see how it worked. It turned off after a few minutes, like with your demonstration. Then I covered the sensors to turn it on, but nothing happened, at least not quickly like when you turned out the lights in your video. I'm hoping that the sensors were picking up light that I wasn't able to seal off with my fingers. Any comments?
Love the random video, I totally understand how busy life can get, glad to see you're doing well! It's cool you have an Atari 2600 and Intellivision, I think my parents have an Intellivision somewhere. Looks like your modifications to them turned out great too!
Woooo! 🎉
🤣
There’s VIA for ya
trolley?
Yes, that is correct. These recreations of trolleys, as buses, were in service for around 40 years in downtown San Antonio. Sadly, the pandemic ended the usefulness of these streetcars. And with scooters and e-bikes being prevalent, there was little incentive to bring them back I imagine. I also have heard that the streetcars did, "breakdown a lot." The routes these buses ran on were handy for traversing the city. I never had any issues with the streetcars. Sadly the elderly and disabled no longer have an easily accessible and quick bus route to get where they need to go efficiently. Since now the regular old routes don't cut through downtown as frequently or conveniently.
Wow very nice ❤️❤️❤️🙏
I bought this same bulb today and installed on my porch in a recessed fixture. It's not working. What did I do wrong?
It could be due to the recessed fixture itself since I assume you leave the switch on for the lamp to do its thing. Because even if it was too dark in the recessed fixture, the lamp would stay on and never turn off. But you say it is not working, which could indicate that the lamp is defective. Which is possible, I've bought some lamps that just never worked. I returned them and got replacements that did work. Unless your recessed fixture has some sort of electrical issue. Which would be the last conclusion if it won't even work with regular lamps.
Do they sell e 12 light bulb in this brand ?
Yes, General Electric makes several E12 base lamps. However they do not have any E12 lamps that are Dusk To Dawn.
That overprint was upside down Chicago Illinois.
Very true! I felt so silly not having realized that until a while later lol
Nice conversion, I don't know they made F6T5 LED replacement bulbs, that's cool. Good idea to keep the convenience outlet, preheat switch and dial in place, definitely keeps the vintage look. Also the placement of the new rotary switch makes it look like it was there all along!
Thank you, so much! It helped keep my spirits up making this video piece by piece when I was very sick. I'm glad you liked it. It also cleaned up real nice!
Very informative! I always wondered if old computer power supplies could be used for anything outside of the computer case, this answers that! I'll have to give this a try, thank you!
The perfin (PERForated INitials) is probably MCRR which was most likely the Michigan Central Railroad. The perforating machine was probably set up for smaller definitives so that's why there is a partial overlap. The cancellation on the 14c American Indian stamp is known as a precancel.
Thank you for the information! I greatly appreciate input from someone more knowledgeable.
Robots was actually a 2005 film. And Robin Williams did the voice of Fender 😁
I love these bulbs, I've bought about 10 of them now. They are really designed more for outdoor lighting rather than indoor but they work great!
Very true! Perfect for the outdoors. My next review will be of the Feit Electric DtD lamp. 2 years on, and going strong!
yeah you're right, they didn't give a better directions for install. I also figured out that, power switch need to be turn on and light bulb color is mild orange or yellow. what it does. its recalibration light difference in 5 mins of waiting. After recalibration (5 mins) it turn bright white also mean its completed.
Nice modification! I've always thought of using one of these bulbs and putting a bunch of little neons in it, maybe someday...
I always keep old power adapters around, you never know when you might need one! Wonderful video! And I agree, I hate those loud annoying cars as well...
Who liked this video? 😂
Switch mode power supplies for radios? I'm kinda skeptical as these things introduce a lot of high frequency noise. I'd rather go with a good old style transformer and linear regulator kind.
Very true. But for quick and easy DIY, it works 😁 I find the transformers are usually absent as they get bought for copper scrap, and it's more difficult to find an affordable one for the voltages I require every so often.
Hey awesome coins bit a word of advice from one collector to another. Littleton is a very overpriced coin supplier sometimes you can find decent deals but 90% of there inventory is way over priced. Try apmex or jm bullion there very good.
Ah, yes. This is very true about Littleton! I appreciate the advice and your view, thank you.
What brand is the LED?.
Brand is Ecosmart.
Crushed the like button! So awesome and thank you so much for sharing! Those are such beautiful coins!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Huge like my friend! Excellent video and thank you so much for sharing!
CAUTION: Made in China.
If I'm not mistaking, I am 99% sure I saw that 1981 Alcoholism stamp in use from a letter my grandmother received in the early 80's when I was very, very young. I still remember it. And man! I have to say that that has to be the most boring stamp that the USPS has ever put out! I mean it so much that I'll drink to it! 😁
Lol
Congratulations on two years! Keep up the amazing work!
Should a switch mode power supply really be called "transformer"? Sure it has one, but it works on tens of kilohertz AC which is then rectified.
That is a hella good point of which I was not aware! Thank you for the rectification 😃
@@cherrysdiy5005 fully bridged rectification :D
You go, girl! <3
Looks fun! Would love to attend a fur con someday!
I've had the same thing happen to me before as well. It always seems to be that fiberboard piece gets old and breaks like that. I'm glad you were able to find a modern replacement for it and keep the wonderful old fixture working!
Thanks! It's a wonder how little some electrical parts barely change and remain replaceable. And that's how lots of things should be, I think. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! lol
Life, Liberty and the Fursuit of Happiness! <3
Simple but nice :)
Indeed very nice simple design, love the vertical filament! And as you stated these are great for use in accent lighting!
Truly these give a pleasing light with no flicker. I have a very hard time finding these. I've only ever bought one, as fate would have it. It is also strange I find very few results in search engines pertaining to this lamp.
Big Clive or DiodeGoneWild should really take a look at it! <3
Wow you definitely have a wide range of cool coins in your collection!
Thank you, these various coins were inherited/given to me by my; Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Father, and my Mother. They culminated to what is here today. I am glad to share them, and soon even more acquisitions I have myself made :>
The way your Satco neon lamp failed is the same exact way one of mine from Satco did! I thought it was because I used it base up and it got too hot but I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one that worked fine. Not sure what exactly happened... Anyway nice demonstration! Reminds me of placing these bulbs next to a plasma globe! Where did the find the little ignitor? Never seen one that small.
Ah yes, it must've been that it was left on for a while, plus possibly inferior internal circuitry. My Uncle gave me the little ignitor. He got it from a coworker many years ago. I can only speculate it was utilized in highly specialized machinery. My Uncle would tell me that his coworker always had pockets full of various things like transistors, capacitors, and the like. And that often said coworker left behind some of the aforementioned parts. Definitely some interesting provenance!
Wonderful review! Funny how these seem to break at the base for whatever reason. I didn't expect the phosphorus to wipe off that easily I just thought it was paint really!
I can only speculate that they underengineered the process of the glass fabrication. This may very well be more widespread. Perhaps only for the certain years. But your garage LED and my LED share a common failure, they both broke when exposed to prolonged periods of cold. The room I had mine in was relatively disused and not heated in the Winter. Also, yes that phosphor was nasty! Bleh!
Just because we can... hey, we do what we must! :)
Yes indeedy!
Love the voice of America stamp too
Thanks! It really is a very cool stamp :) Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Beautiful coins! Big like and subscribed! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much, look forward to more videos soon. I have new acquisitions on the way as I type!
Good idea using old clothes hanger clips as helping hands, never would have thought of that! This project really did turn out nice!
Thanks! It isn't as great as actual helping hands, but good enough for now. 😁
Those little drawers are wonderful to have, but for some reason they're really hard to find these days!
True that! I got it as a gift from my tech inclined Uncle.
Wonderful video, enjoyed all the updates! I totally forgot about The Brave Little Toaster, I haven't seen that movie in many many years! Here's to a great year for you as well!
Awesome! You definitely have a lot of antique and vintage fixtures! I love the simple vintage ceiling lights in the bathrooms, closet and hallways! The lamps with bulbs in their base are always cool! All the lights look to be in really good condition too! Overall a wonderful assortment of unique light fixtures and fans! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much. I wish that I could have showed you what I saw in my home as a child. We had many pressed brass and cast iron chandeliers. The ceiling fans were necessary, though. Summers are much more bearable. But those chandeliers were beautiful, wish I had at least one still with us. We did have one last pressed brass chandelier in the dining room. It fell onto the table and almost hit my Mother's head. She was the only one in the house at the time. The Chandelier had to go after, it was just a bad reminder.
Nice these aren't that bad, sad they don't have as much smoke on the inside. Great that it dims nicely for sure! Fantastic review!
That's a cool little inverter you made! I even learned something today, never knew those little 120v LED night light bulbs could glow on such low voltage. I suppose that's because its also low in wattage and is an LED after all? Probably would he harder to lite a higher wattage LED like 10watts this same way?
I do think it would be much more difficult to operate a 10W, if it does barely manage to light up. Although I could put that to the test! The LED in the video runs on 30mA so it is pretty good on the current just from the battery alone. Just as you can use a 120VAC 7w C7 bulb on it. It will barely glow however, but gets a nice warmth. I just happened to test that off camera.
Enjoyed seeing you convert this lamp into your creation! Came out looking really nice! Oh I love feeding wire through those little tubes always the best lol
Cool that you were able to find another one! I like the updates you did to the clock, the wire nuts are a much better solution! I'm also glad you were able to find a new outlet for your first one and get it working as well!
Thanks! I was so sad to see the really nice one on ebay without the cord. It still had life left in it, and it's such a great experience to have given it a second life and passed it on to a good owner. I made a big deal about polarity, only to give it a non polarized cord, but it's still much safer since polarity isn't getting mixed up so much because initially they were all in a weird "series". Of course, polarity didn't matter much back then. Anyhow, these auto timers are much better suited to use in rooms other than a kitchen and can be used for lamps or other low draw appliances. Or just a clock on their own :3
