    Startrite TA 1250

    Hey Harald I went to look at the saw again today to make note of all the wiring. My friend had been with it until late last night and with the aid of the wiring schematic you found he discovered the floating wire connected to '3' and the saw is back to working as usual today Thanks for your...

    Startrite TA 1250

    Thanks Harrald yes it is that table saw We were thinking it should also go into 3 or 5 as 1 has two wires in it already one of which comes from 220v of the terminal blocks on the left. I'll go and see the machine again now you have found us the wiring diagram and see if we can get some more...

    Startrite TA 1250

    Trying to help a friend problem solve his Startright 1250 which won't power on. After having a look inside I could see a floating wire (circled in red), the wire connects to the 0 terminal on the left handside (circled in blue) which comes from the transformer. I'm hoping someone can help in...

    Hello Fellow Boardronauts + Question re: replacement power supply variance

    I don't understand. Surely the "device" just needs what it needs? to function as designed, unless you seek "disfunctional" for some reason we don't know about. In terms of laptops, surely the correct PSU is cheaper than a laptop, so why risk it? In terms of the Lansing surround sound sub...

    Pug mill power switch wiring

    hey there, thanks I'm out of my depth here, but can follow instructions. But will endeavor to get a comprehensive view/drawing of how it is fully wired tomorrow. If it needs 'wholly re wiring/new/different switch that's safer I'll follow your folks advice

    Pug mill power switch wiring

    Hi all, I've been asked by a friend to see if i can repair his pug mill, looking at the wiring of the switch i can see a blue (neutral) wire hanging free. Looking at the switch box and the wires i'm not confident it is robust, I don't like the floating terminal block. I've attached photo's so...

    How this forum came to be

    Yeah i think more on the "about" link would be great including a bit of history, i'm sure at some point there'll be more of an acknowledgement of these type of communities, I remember pestering all my local repair guys, amp fixers etc to show me stuff until i found here

    mpf102 duds

    fair do's, I bought them as I needed them cheaper, but lesson learned I guess as had to wait longer to build and cost me more money. Fake/rogue Component sounds JG Ballard-esque

    mpf102 duds

    I bought a batch of MPf102's off of Ebay to put into some LFO's I've been building. Got the LFO's working apart from the ramp/saw and square sections which followed a pair of MPf102's. Spent quite a while being baffled but managed to narrow the Problem down to the pair of MPF102's, surely enough...

    I can't find any website will tell me what my transformer goes to or is good for

    do you have a way to test it? if so and is working.... do you have a need/use for it? as K.E says above " A transformer like yours is only good for powering something that requires the stated voltage and maximum current. If you wanted to experiment you could use it as a DC source to a...

    Delay Relay

    HI Calmore, can you give us a bit more information on what both the device is and if you can tell us what you are seeing on it's output? I'm probably not the person who can help you here, but I'm guessing the people who are best to help you will need this information Cheers

    volume/frequency activated gates/triggers

    Ok thanks. I can find the NE567 quite easy and will look at related schematics today and try to understand the consideration needed of the relationship with frequency and bandwith (I understand the terms) in this application. In terms of amplitude, I'll follow your advice as makes my making...
