    Flex .....No Earth

    unlikely, those of a similar style that I have seen have a metal reflector inside the unit, which needs earthing.

    Door Entry Systems (need an update!!)

    Y'know, there really is no good reason to move from the existing OS. We DO have 2 PCs, the ye-olde machine runs the door entry, and also the till system (not a live system, but used for bringing the takings etc down from the tills to the office, and also for updating pricings etc) Might...

    Door Entry Systems (need an update!!)

    Hmm, now there's a question, Ill have to find that out, being a social club, there is not a high turnover, I think the last cards (fobs) were bought about 2-3 years ago. I beleive the price is around £5 a fob, this is what we charge the member for them, and make very little (if anything) on...

    Door Entry Systems (need an update!!)

    I'm involved with a local social club, and we have a door entry system. Relatively simple, 2 doors independently controlled by a proximity card, and in intercom. The PC-System link is via serial to a relay panel near the PC, magnetic locks on the doors. The problem is this: The membership...

    OK, I feel like a bit of a fool now, seems as though M42 adaptors are avaliable for just about every DSLR going. Might just treat myself to a DSLR body!!.

    Digital componenets into old camera

    this is somthing I have looked at for quite some time, and discovered not, although talking to a mate last weekend, I do have some glimmer of hope, I have a good collection of lenses etc from my zenit camera, and is of such an age that it has screw on lenses. My friend had a DSLR (poss...

    Automatic battery backup

    I was going to suggest that, use a CTek or similar "intelligent" charger and you won't cook the battery, I have no idea what is avaliable in the 12V line of pumps etc, I used to use an inverter, so it was charger - Battery - Inverter - Pump/heater. mainly because I already had an...

    obtaining spares for 1950s electrical goods

    probably nowhere, it is quite an age. http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/8535750/morphy-richards-automatic-toaster-1949 is one for sale, £50 though, you could use it for spares. The only other thing I can think of is find a cheap toaster of similar dimensions and retrofit the new elements into the...

    Method of attaching Earth to cable sheath on TN-S

    it was a "temporary" arrangement when we got a new (full sized , as apposed to the old small one) drier a few months ago, now in the process of fixing said arrangement, just never got close enough to the cut-out to notice before. I'm aware its not mine to mess with, just wondered what their...

    Method of attaching Earth to cable sheath on TN-S

    Just doing some work at home, pulled out the Drier and noticed that my main earth is attached to the sheath with 2 normal earthing clamps. Now, is this correct? I've not seen it before, its always been under a covering (presumably welded/sweated on) I have a feeling it was applied before...

    worktop/island sockets

    cheers, twas the pinnicle thing I was thinking of, glad I was sat down for the price!!! might have to look again, the pop up things are ok, but will never get "unpopped" might make some up, even £30 seems a bit steep for a fancy shaped back box, might have a play at vacuum moulding...

    worktop/island sockets

    I'm stumped here, I know I have seen these things, but cant find them. Im looking for a work surface mount to put a double socket in where there is no wall (eg a kitchen island) in this case, its because the wall is all window. something similar to this. but just takes a standard double...

    DNO's supply Max allowed

    really, surely that depends on the size of the stage/theatre. The smallest 300 seater I work in has 63A 3Ph for its lighting alone, which by my reconning is 43.4Kw, its frequently got 60+Kw up allowing for diversity. depending on what you hang, 24Kw is not much in the theatre world, when...
