Doug, payment has been sent for 1 Walkie Talkie Sound Module Bundle with Extra Static!! I'm super sorry for having you make a third stop to the post office because of me. But, hey... you make great stuff!

PM Sent!

PM sent! WAY excited!!!

PM Sent for a Modded MT-500!!!!

Do you have a video of what it sounds like with the radio noise?

put me down for one kit please!!

For the Extra Static version, a noise burst is always added at the start of each person's quote in all Radio Chatter Sequences. Movie quotes (other than Radio Chatter) do not have a noise burst added.

For the Regular version, a single noise burst is only added to the start of each Sequence and only if the timer started the sequence, not if the sequence was started by a press of the talk button.

Sponge, this is really damn cool. I recently picked up an MT-500 ( kind of the wrong one.. but oh well?) and was thinking about how to sacrifice this poor guy to cram his electronic guts into the radio.

Where did you find the sound clips? I'd still like to give it a try, but I know I'll end up ordering one of these things from you!

You may have just spared his life.. until I find something else to harvest his chips for!

Sadly when I opened my MT500... it looked nothing like i hoped it did.. I assume since I am missing the original board and the speaker I am SOL... and when I look at your wiring pictures the switches on the top of your radio look completely different than mine.. well at least one of them do anyway.. i dont know what do say. is there a way to remedy this situation?

There are some instructions (somewhere in the GBFans forums and on the web, it has been a bit since I searched for them), for "examining" the sound files from the video game. There are thousands of small sound bytes available, and I haven't even gone through the sound effects portions yet. The actual DVD movie sound tracks can provide all of the rest.

After you get the quotes you want, then convert them to the correct format and program whatever sound module or "Bear" (?) you want!

Wow!, I guess someone really wanted to save as much weight as possible and removed everything they could!

The switches are probably fine. I have seen quite a variety of switches, but they all work basically the same way.

The power switch in the photo on the right (probably) should snap on and off and is probably on the outside two Red wires. It also looks like the center rotating switch is a 1 of 8 selection. The center pin(s) or one pin in the ring of pins will be common and the rest will individually short to that common pin depending on the switch position.

If you have a DVM or ohmeter, set it to continuity checking (beeps when the probes touch each other) or low resistance setting (Ohms) and go a probing! Just try different combinations and turn the desired switches. The switches should be open (very high resistance, megohms, but if you are touching things at least > 200Kohms) or shorted (less than a few Ohms).

I do have a decent selection of nice condition radios up for sale and also ended up with some fairly poor condition radios that I have lying around and use for spare parts. I probably have a spare beat up front panel + nice speaker available. I will check and let you know.

The talk switch may be a bit challenging to find the two connections. That looks a bit different that what I have seen before. Hopefully the small pin sticking out near the mounting screw hole is one side and the ground is somewhere on the circuit board on the right.

I have seen some talk switches that are just mechanical - no electrical connections, and that would require some external switch to sense the motion. You can see if this is an issue by pressing the talk button. If it moves in/out and you don't see any movement of the pin on the inside, then it is probably an electrical switch inside the button. If you do see the pin moving in and out, then it is way more complicated to get working since they removed the board that would hold that switch.

The arrows in the photos below indicate where we would normally solder the talk button ribbon cable wires to.

Here is the "Electrical" switch, no movement of the connection can be seen from inside:


Here is the "mechanical" switch, the pin will move and press the electrical switch mounted on the printed circuit board:

Sponge , did you send me a pm recently ? .... Besides the " kits are available now " pm . ..... I got an email saying i did, but it wasnt formatted correctly and it wouldnt let me read it

Did you receive my PM?

My pin moves in and out.. so it was pushing something on the removed PCB...

argh

Payment sent , . . Thanks Doug

Payment sent. Can't wait

Payment sent. Thanks Doug.

payment sent! thanks

pm sent
these look great

Payment sent!

what r most ppl getting. regular or extra static. i know i said original but im kinda torn between the two

I went for the "extra static" version. I like that the static sound signals that a line of dialog is coming, so no one misses it.

Me too

I went for extra static.

I went regular

If I understand correctly "regular" only has static before the lines if you let it play automatically throught the timer, but doesn't have static if you play the lines manually with a push of the button. While "extra static" always has static.

At least that's what I understood.

Payment sent thanks doug can't wait to fiddle with this!

Also I went for extra static.
