They can vary in thickness across the molding. Sometimes even the thick ones have thin spots on them, especially around the edges of the wooden insert in the base. If its rigidity you're after you can improve it a lot by mounting them firmly.
I haven't kept pace with the developments in tuners as digital has taken hold. For years I could of answered the question outright but sadly not now. You have all the TVs that have been around during the changeover that will be certainly dual standard. Like SimonH2 was saying they're made for a...
I would argue that plasterboard and lathe & plaster was a fire barrier. I would also argue, and this is might be what the electricians have in mind, that it's good working practice to leave a building with similar or better fire resistance after the job as before. And that would mean not leaving...
It's unlikely that the storm moved the dish unless it was loose. How do you know the new LNB gives a good signal if signal strength is zero?
Going from some signal to none at all suggests the new LNB isn't in the sweet spot.
Has the cable got water in it?
Sounds like a bad joint (on the printed circuit board, not in your hand) or a bad component somewhere. I'd send it back before the warranty expires.
If the manual mentions a 'High definition 405 line system' then this would be a standard feature.
If that manual is the right one, and it looked like it was the right one, it says 'Connection have to be made using a mains connection cable not lighter than H05RR-F 300 V / 500 V Rubber Flexible Cable or H05VV-F 300V / 500V PVC Flexible Cable.'
H05RR-F is this stuff...
John, check what the caching settings in your browser are set to. Some browsers cache things to varying degrees and this maybe effecting what you're seeing. It can make setup of some equipment with a web interface complete madness if its turned on.
I suppose with IR testing especially at 1kV, that in places like cellars, and anywhere else that gases could collect, you'd have to be wary of igniting something from a dodgy contact somewhere. The longer the cable the more stored charge for it found a jumpable gap. The dielectric strength of...
The couple of older IR testers I've metered for voltage kept the output volts there for as long as your finger was on the button. Is the pulse thing a modern development?
I was wanting to see what happens to T&E at those kinds of test voltages with a spread of different wire (new, not so new...
That's terribly practical John. :lol:
And it skips past one big reason for doing it - to see a piece of T&E lose it in style and grabbing a picture of it. :D
Seriously though, the reason for doing it was just out of interest.
What I really need is a step up transformer that's ideally...
You need a service manual for an EM3AA chassis

I bought an AEG core drill a couple of years ago for £190 new. Its at another house at the mo, so not sure of the exact model number, but its very similar if not identical to the AEG DB15002XE. 1.5Kw and 110v. Has a clutch which works fine and a long and configurable side arm handle (with a...
At the moment, sadly, the current test gear inventory prevents me from putting that to the test and providing you with a figure. The only source I have capable of those kinds of voltages isn't very controllable. Should that change you'll be the first to know. :lol:
Sounds like a way of maybe cajouling those extra-weird faults into action which may save a lot of time. But elevated votage testing of insulation can lead to the deterioration of the insulation if you're approaching its limits. Anybody know what kind of limits T&E has? And would 1kV testing...
In Hindsight most things are easier. Don't apologise for anything Martin. Look at the positives here......
1) A successful outcome and its done & dusted.
2) Somebody (Martin) who was brave enough to put up a problem for the world to see and that's provided some interesting food for thought...

Years ago before RCDs saw domestic use I built an RCD from scratch using a donor toroidal transformer. The outer secondary was stripped off leaving the finer primary as the sense winding. Over the top was then wound a bifilar winding to carry line & neutral. It was crude compared...

My deep maths isn't brilliant, and in deep I survive by being able to 'see' what's going on. So your graph is most useful for that. I can be quite visual for problem solving. So I'd looked at the formula that looked like the closest approximation, and attempted to visually...
Phew! I'm glad it wasn't all poppycock then which is what I feared for 4am with eyes like spanners. I wanted to add to all the other good stuff for when Martin went back out to it today.
Martin don't worry about becoming an 'outcast'. We've all been there I'm sure, even BAS :shock: And in...
