It almost sounded like you were encouraging somebody to open up their microwave in order to ascertain whether the problem may lay with the fatal voltages & highly dangerous magnetron found within. Surely you wouldn't be that silly(?)

That product is designed to be used in ESD protected areas to facilitate attaching wrist straps & bench mats etc. They usually have a 1M resistor in series & are completely unsuitable for any other purpose. Edit: Too slow!

I have a couple of pattress boxes that are packaged in Polar & Mode branded bags from the Click range - the items themselves are branded Click UK. So I would say yes, they are the same company.

The majority of loose dust will probably be removed by the air flow from the rotating disc above, it's a film layer of grot that builds up, similar to the inside of car windows that needs to be removed. This should only be necessary after a few years (less if you are a smoker, the unit is...

Hi AW, I would think that your speakers should be fine as they present an easier "load" on the amplifier, you just wouldn't be able to reach the full quoted output power as this is measured at 6 ohms. Only a problem if you like to push the volume to its limits. (Hopefully @Lucid will come along...

Hi AW, The lens in CD players is quite delicately suspended in order for the radial & focus coils to continually move it into the correct position while playing a disc. Unless the classic lens cleaning disc has changed recently, they have a ring of small barbs/bristles that physically scrape...

Hi AW, I have a few points to raise here: I would suggest if you have intent designs on resurrecting your machine - please stop using the lens cleaning disc, in my experience these do more harm than good. You already mention that you have cleaned it manually. This should be sufficient. I...

Yes, I agree with you about customer reviews. I think I'm just being overly concerned about being bitten in the bum! The ceiling speakers appear to be car speakers, so I think I'm looking at 2ohm if they are wired in parallel. Unfortunately, pulling a new cable in really isn't going to be...

Thanks Lucid for your in depth reply. A bit more info - my next door neighbour has enlisted me to design & install a hifi system for her. There are already two speakers installed in the kitchen ceiling (which she would like to keep), but these appear to be wired in parallel. I have read some...

Hi, does anybody know of any mini hifi streamer systems, other than the Marantz Melody range, that has the ability to drive 2 pairs of speakers with independent volume controls? TIA

Fair enough - it does look like two after a second look.

Is that a black wire in the earth terminal? Edit: And why is there only one earth wire for two cables?

I used to have a Nextbase camera & the internal battery didn't last very long at all. After about a year or so, when I switched the engine off, the internal battery would die instantly meaning that the camera didn't save the last 3 minute capture. Not much use if an incident had occured. I got...

I would be wagging my finger at the person who cut the flex from the DP switch & left it sticking out like that.

You can also be safe in the knowledge that the log periodic aerial you now have will be significantly better than the DIY shed "digital" aerial you had before. Win win.

Thanks Adam - the HV was the part I was most unsure about.

I have a pretty poor understanding of these things, but I will tell you what I know in the hope that someone will come along & correct me if I'm wrong as this stuff interests me too. The incoming HV supply is 2 phase, or split phase 11kV, this enters the transformer via the two big insulators...

I had an 8th gen Civic a few years ago, while it was very reliable, the body panels & paint were very thin, the clutch pedal clicked incessantly (I eventually cured this), the FM radio reception was dreadful (kept dropping to mono even in strong signal areas) & occupants received agonising...

The rain sensor is the large bit, with the yellow sticker on it. HTH Neil.

Eveares, please stop using "what" when "that" is the correct word. I don't mean to be a pedant, but it really does make you appear to be far less intelligent than you have already proved to be.
