Subject: Was: Voice Modules
On the topic of adding sounds to the Delorean,
a few years back I created a little device for #2860
that would make the "time machine door opening sound"
ala Back to the future, when you opened the door.
I got a sound chip from Radio Shack and burned onto it
the sound effect taken from the movie. I then hooked this
up to a little powered speaker (ran on "D" batteries) also
from Radio Shack, I think, and then connected it to a door
pin switch, and set the speaker on the deck behind the driver's
seat.
A fun, temporary little gadget for shows and things. You can
build it in an afternoon for less than $40. The hardest part
was capturing the right sound, which I loaded into the computer
to remove background noise and to "punch" it up a little.

Maybe someone remembers a reference to a voice module from a Datsun that
worked in the D. I recall reading something about it in a D-World many
years ago.

Subject: RE: [DML] Voice Modules for the Delorean
I am definitely interested in purchasing this voice module. If anyone
knows the price and is familiar with the product, please share your
knowledge with other Delorean owners. How do we order this and what are
the phone numbers?

Subject: [DML] Voice Modeules for the Delorean
They say what is old is new again. In the 80's when the Delorean Club
of America was still around, they sold a diagnostic voice module that
would tell you if a light was burned out and many other things. Later
in the Delorean World Magazines there was an advertisment
for "Autotalk". The ad that I am looking at is in Volume 6, Delorean
Expo '89 Issue, page 20. In the ad it refers to the device as having
the personality of "Tiffany" and the personalities were
interchangable by changing a chip. If anybody wants the address, let
me know.

Subject: Speedo gone nuts!
Hi all,
I was out on Saturday night and having had new tyres, Casey's new air
filter and re-ballenced and tracked wheels I thought I would give the
car a bit of welly down the A12 (dual carridgeway).
Anyway it shifted along quite nicley and the spedo comfortably got
back round to the 'M' on 'MPH' at the bottom of the speedo, but
thenmy turning came up so I had to resume normalspeed.
Anway later that night I heard a clicking sound in the drivers foot
well and the speedo started to jump around, then the clicking stopped
and the speedo died.
I had a fiddle with the lower and upper drive cables and both seemed
to be ok, but what does the white box in the drivers footwell do? I
think this is where the noise was comming from and therefore expect
the problem lies here.
Any help appreciated as always.

Imagine my surprise when I get home from work yesterday afternoon and
start
flipping through the cable channels. You know the normal ones....
speedvision, ESPN, Fox Sports, and ESPN2... Well of course I had to stop
immediately on ESPN2 when I saw a Delorean. Turns out a whole show was
dedicated to the Delorean (I'm just guessing on the whole show -- I only
caught the last 10 or so minutes).
Besides hearing the usual how many cars were made, the type of engine,
stainless steel panels, estimates on value, you actually get to see
DMCJOE.
Yes you get to put a face with the e-mails and the voice at the other end
of
the phone.
Good job Joe, and the owner who appeared on the show as well (I'm blanking
on your name, sorry)
This is the good type of press that the DMC name needs and deserves.

Subject: Re: Parts not available
Hey gang,
I've actually been working on the steering column trim pieces. I've
got a digital
model file all ready to send to a manufacturer, my problem is I can't find
anybody that
will do it cheap enough to get the DMC parts suppliers to bite. If anyone
knows anyone
who has the capability and might be interested in developing these parts
let me know!
We've got a good start on it. You can see a few jpgs of my model file in
the photos
section of the yahoogroups website. the URL is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews
- Click on the photos link on the left side
- Click on the "Album" named steering column shroud
Let me know via private e-mail if anyone is interested in helping me
develop this.

Thanks,
Josh

Subject: Re: Speedo gone nuts!
The "little white box" you are refering to is the lambda counter. It's
purpose is to light the lambda light in the instrument panel at the
proper intervals to inform the operater it's time for maintainence. My
guess is that you are having trouble with the lower cable, (the one
from the angle drive to the lambda counter). Either it is damanged
where the inner cable connects to the counter or it is too short and
is slipping where it is supposed to connect. The way to fix is usually
to replace. If you have an "early" car you might also need a support
bracket by the angle drive. It is also possible that the cable is
actully broken.

Subject: Re: Speedo gone nuts!
The little white box is a mechanical counter for the Lambda system.
It turns on the "LAMBDA" light when you have gone a certain number of
miles, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced. It expresses itself
in terms of "percentage life" ... and must be reset when it has turned
on the light. Naturally, you should replace the sensor at the same
time that you reset the counter. This counter has some gears and
other mechanisms inside, and could possibly "eat itself", causing a
disconnect in your speedometer drive. Good luck.
