Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 23 On-site Service
"Go, I'm at home after get off work in the evening, and they wish you could leave early." Duan Fang replied casually.

"Then it's settled!" Duan Yun said, and took out the address list his sister gave him yesterday from under the pillow.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Yun got up and left his rental house after modifying more than 20 radios that his sister had given him at noon.

After locking the door, Duan Yun strode towards the three living quarters of the factory.

According to the address given to him by his sister Duan Fang, Duan Yun came to the door of a resident on the second floor of the fifteenth building.

The factory's morning shift ends at four in the afternoon, which is the time when many people cook and eat dinner.

Duan Yun gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside.

"Auntie, I'm Duan Fang's brother Duan Yun, do you have a radio to fix?" Duan Yun asked politely.

"Squeak."

As soon as Duan Yun finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman with a somewhat fat body appeared in front of Duan Yun.

"Ah, you are Duan Fang's brother, come in." After looking at Duan Yun up and down, he motioned for him to come in.

This is a combined household of about 20 square meters. Although it sounds not much larger than Duan Yun's house, it has an independent kitchen and bathroom, which is obviously much more convenient than Duan Yun's Tongzilou.

In fact, the third living area of ​​the gear factory is considered to be the area with the latest and best accommodation conditions in the entire factory. The houses were newly built three or four years ago, and those who can live here are basically model workers, technicians, middle-level cadres and the like.

Relatively speaking, these people are also among the highest-paid workers in the factory.

Looking around at the middle-aged woman's house, the electric fan, vertical radio, and sewing machine in the room were all wiped clean. On the old-fashioned trunk opposite the bed, there was a 12-inch black and white TV.

Just looking at this furniture arrangement, it is a proper well-off in this year.

"Small piece, eat an apple!"

At this moment, the middle-aged woman came in with a plate of washed apples and placed it on the folding dining table by the aisle.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Duan Yun smiled when he heard the words, but did not move the plate of apples, but walked to the half-meter-high old-fashioned radio placed on the wall, and asked after a while, "Auntie, does your radio have any What's the problem?"

"It's been more than half a year, the noise is so loud, and many stations can't be received." The middle-aged woman came over to take a photo of the radio, and said, "I wanted to replace it for a long time, but I was reluctant to throw it away..."

"Actually, it's a good thing. The new radios don't have such good speakers." Duan Yun squatted down to check the case, looked up and said to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, can I open it and take a look?"

"casual."

"Any dry rags?"

"I'll get it for you." The middle-aged woman said, turning around and walking out of the room.

Taking out the tools he brought, Duan Yun quickly opened the back cover of the radio.

This is Duan Yun's first home repair, but the process is surprisingly simple.

This is definitely an old-fashioned four-tube semiconductor radio with the words '*** Longevity boundless' printed on the lid.

It was definitely not ordinary people who could afford this type of vertical radio back then, but now it's completely useless.

The components inside the chassis have been out of production for many years, and it is simply impossible to buy on the market.

Thumb-thick diodes and fist-sized capacitors are definitely treasures for electronic enthusiasts in future generations.

However, due to the simple mechanism of the machine, Duan Yun can be completely replaced with new electronic components on hand.

Taking the rag from the woman, Duan Yun gently wiped the electronic components inside, then turned on the multimeter and tested the components one by one.

Soon Duan Yun found out that one of the transistors had turned black, and the resistance value was surprisingly large.

Plug in the soldering iron that he was carrying with him, and Duan Yun took out a diode from his pocket and replaced the original component.

In order to ensure the sound quality of the radio, Duan Yun made a small modification with some parts.

After doing all this, Duan Yun turned on the radio switch, and after a simple adjustment of the channel, the Central People's Broadcasting Station broadcasted Shen Xiaocen's "Please Come to the Ends of the World".

"Please come to the ends of the earth, where the four seasons spring always
The spring breeze is warm on Hainan Island, and the beautiful flowers make you happy
The flowers are blooming in March, and the flowers are blooming in May..."

A clear voice echoed throughout the room.

"Small paragraph, your skills are good." The hostess who was washing vegetables in the kitchen immediately returned to the room with a smile after hearing the song, and asked Duan Yun a while later, "How much?"

"thirty……"

"Uh..." The middle-aged woman's face was a little ugly when she heard the words.

"I help other people's door-to-door services for at least 15 yuan, but anyway, auntie, your daughter and my sister are classmates..." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said after a while: "Well, I'll just charge the cost price of [-] yuan. Replaced several capacitor diodes..."

In fact, the cost of Duan Yun's components is less than one piece. He deliberately set a high price first, and then gave a 'cost price' to the middle-aged woman, making this middle-aged woman feel very profitable. After all, Chinese people like to bargain, and Duan Yun is also well aware of this.

"Thank you then, I'll get the money for you!" Sure enough, after hearing what Duan Yun said, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned into a flower, and she opened the lid of the trunk next to her and took out the money.

"No thanks, Auntie, you can help me with the publicity in the future." At this time, Yun's eyes had shifted to the 12-inch black and white TV, and he immediately asked, "Auntie, how much did you pay for this black and white TV? ?"

"The peony brand was bought by my family on a business trip to BJ last year." The middle-aged woman had a smug look on her face when she heard this, and said, "It cost me 500 yuan..."

"Uh, it looks like a high-end product." Duan Yun heard the expression of 'envy', and after taking the money from the middle-aged woman, he asked, "How many tables can you charge?"

"Central One and Shanxi TV."

"Just two stations?" Duan Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.

This is somewhat beyond Duan Yun's expectations.

In fact, at the beginning of the 80s, many domestic TV users could only receive the central TV station, and it was generally not available during the day but only at night.

"News" at seven, "Alarm" at eight, then "Movie", then "For You."

If the TV signal is good enough, you can still receive two or three provincial stations.

Duan Yun carefully observed the black-and-white TV, and when he found out that the black-and-white TV still used its own telescopic antenna, his mind suddenly moved, and then he said to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, discuss something with you. chant?"

"what's up?"

"I want to make a special antenna for you, and I can receive a lot of them..." Seeing the embarrassed expression on the middle-aged woman's face, Duan Yun immediately added:

"Don't worry, I'm free this time, and you don't have to pay a cent!"

　The new book period will be updated twice a day, begging everyone to recommend and welcome to fatten and kill!
