Hi Guys My 10yr+ old washing machine has packed up. The pic shows the indications, and no matter what I do with the buttons/door/power they remain unchanged. The door will open and close ok. The wife is now using it as excuse to buy new......but not on my watch if its fixable. It has never let...

Trump now declaring he is in charge of the country. This is going to be an interesting watch.:unsure:

I've now made up the ROV connector, but the ROV battery is drawing 0 amp when connected to the 12v charger. The ground station draws 1 amp when on charge. I need to now establish if the 12v from the charger is getting to the ROV battery. This involves stripping down the pressurised/waterproof...

The battery pic is that of the ground station suitcase which is accessible. The pic of the 2 pin socket is that of the remote ROV. Both use the same charger, which I have and it fits ok to the ground station. But its the adapter to connect to the ROV which is missing. I'm happy with the...

Thanks Countryfan - I'm managing it on an 'electrics' thread.

Newcastle was always a popular destination for Royal Navy ships to visit for R&R. In the 80's the local liaison officer would hire a night club/dance hall for a ship's company dance and put out personal invitations to local nurses and others. I have hazy memories of some good times there. :)...

My multimeter is showing -0.21v dc when connecting pos to pin 1 and neg to pin 2. And +0.21v when leads are swapped. Will go with pin 1 -ve and pin 2 +ve I've also sent an email to the model website. Cheers Doug

Thanks all I've now purchased a suitable SP13 connector. Just need to establish which is +ve and -ve for pins 1 and 2 to wire up the charger. Unfortunately the battery is in a sealed box so unable to see its wiring arrangement. Is there a standard convention for possibly 1 = +ve and 2 = -ve...

Just checked again. My socket has a keyway between pins 1 and 2, but the diagram in your link shows no key. :( Edit - I've ordered it as the data specs appear to match my own. Will see what turns up ;)

Spot on shippers. Its an underwater portable ROV I'm fixing up so the waterproof connector is as showing on your link, Cheers Doug

Hi All I have a bit of old kit which has a rechargeable battery, but I have no charging lead. Can anyone identify the connector from the attached pics? Its a 12v battery I'm charging. The OS diameter of the connector is approx 15mm. Its a screw in type, not bayonet. Cheers All Doug

The sun is so low in the sky now that even on a sunny day my system will be lucky to generate 50% of what I do in mid summer. :(

I was the boss :)

Can you spot me? ;)

During ammunitioning ship, including missiles/torpedoes and boxed ammunition, I was responsible for the supervision of all personnel involved and briefed them all on the hazards of explosives and how to safely lift/carry heavy boxes. I walked the ammunition routes to identify any hazards...

Am wondering whether this embassy will be built by UK contractors to UK building regulations? Or will they be permitted to employ Chinese contractors to Chinese specs. Apparently the submitted planning application includes basements with no declared reason for their use. Would UK building reg...
