    National Computer Electronic Flash Unit.

    Welcome to EP. Is that manufacture still around,or has it gone the Dodo way? You can get it to be serviced. How are your skills at electronic repair?

    Outlet with sensor

    Let me add, that these switched outlets were not made for safety reasons just for switching on/off. The Europlug is well insulated to prevent finger contact while inserting/removing the plug. The project could be viable for protecting children trying to insert metallic objects into...

    Farberware Food Processor FP3000FBS

    I don't bake either. Here is a food processor that has just 2 buttons,they make dough with it as well...13:00 onward. Do test the processor and report the result. Thanks for the part numbers, that was to satisfy my curiosity. BTW, the Triac part should probably read BTA12600C

    AC fan not starting unless given a little 'help' - Start capacit lickely fault?

    First thing is to check that the fan is spinning freely without power. Most times this is the cause of the problem and once started it gets worse and worse(dirt and gunk) . If this is the case the shaft should be cleaned and lubricated with the correct lub material. In small fans there is...

    Capacitor code

    I think it will be fine,go ahead and try it. This cap is an EMI filter on the line input ,shouldn't be a problem.

    Capacitor code

    Welcome to EP. Can't say for sure but it has to do with the version of "Climatic category IEC 60068-1 standard". Probably a more up to date version. 40/110 is -40 to +110 degrees Celsius. Are you repairing broken equipment of some kind?

    Could you please tell what is written on TR1, the 3 terminal Triac on the black Heat-sink,starts with BTA. And X1 ,the light blue part near Q4.

    Farberware Food Processor FP3000FBS

    The only problem I see with speed is the fact that I would expect SP1 to give a lower reading than SP2, which it doesn't. The speed ,in all cases would be lower under "food load processing". Maybe it is time to assemble the unit back and make a speed test under food load in the bowl . Do you...

    Farberware Food Processor FP3000FBS

    I don't know of a way to test RPM with your DMM. Since you brought it up,I assumed that you have a Tachometer. As it is now, the ratio of speeds(a naive calculation) should be 3.7/4.8 about 79%. I don't know what it should be,but it may not be a noticeable difference . A tachometer...

    While trying to fix a pinball machine, I had a big scare

    Can't see anything wrong. This machine looks old,very old,40's-50's,earlier? The insulation needs to be inspected visualy. Could be you pushed something with a probe and accidentally shorted something. Check the solder as well.

    4G/5G etc

    The 2G/3G should be old history in most of the western world. Rural areas always suffer of poor bandwidth/infrastructure,since providers will not commit to scarcely populated places. The above link should be a decade old, if not older. Here is a more up to date 4G/5G info. Enjoy. BTW , your...

    While trying to fix a pinball machine, I had a big scare

    Welcome to EP. If the current would have flown trough you ,you would have felt it. The leads are insulated and would stand 230VAC easily. I guess you are mentally shocked ,but physically fine. I also guess that while probing ,you accidentally shorted something in the machine. Why do you think...

    Can anyone identify connector Pin type from these picture (& some info)? (automotive related)

    The correct way isn't guessing ! What you should do is consult the service manual of your "2017 Civic Type R". Alternatively, you can go to an authorized Honda seller/garage/parts-center and inquire about the connector type and make,they may have the pins as well. If possible take the part...

    Robust delay circuit?

    Do you know how does the sensing of the lamp's current work? Do you have a schematic ? This circuit can be "fooled" in many ways,but details are needed.

    Microcontroller replaceable?

    1999 isn't really old, the problem is poor solder when the equipment left the factory(Chinese?). Corrosion though, is a big problem in wet areas,equipment should be stored wrapped( and sealed if possible) with absorbing bags. When ordering these parts from Digikey, order a bunch, they may be...

    Microcontroller replaceable?

    Well, My advice is to test the board in it's faulty state,in my experience it is the best way to find the fault. Using vision to locate faults is at best being lucky,since many, if not most faults are invisible. Avoid swapping parts as much as possible,PCB's and devices may be damaged that way...
