    3.2v LEDs 12v battery

    If the Leds are rated at 20ma and a fully charged battery has around 12.7v, that would put you over at 26ma if you uses the R120 resistors.

    Best crimping tools for DIY

    Basically, You get what you pay for. T&B has been making quality products since 1917. They are pioneers in the field and have invented many of the lugs themselves as well as a wide array of fasteners.(including the ty-rap zip-tie) Yes, you can save some money with off brands, but the quality of...

    Corning PC-620 120V 1113W Repair

    If your very careful, hold the flat end of the triac with a small crescent wrench, and rotate the wrench and the board at the same time and see if it breaks free. Don't force too much! Option two; cut a small slot in the screw with a hack saw blade to turn it into a slotted screw. Option three...

    You can also check the voltage from one side of the element to the switched contacts on the relay. If the contacts are bad, you'll see a significant voltage difference. That is, unless Moe or Larry have anything to add.

    Corning PC-620 120V 1113W Repair

    Take a picture of the back side of that circuit board with the relay on it. 73's de Edd is probably right that the relay has failed. I'd try by bypassing the NO contacts and see if it heats. You could also check the element wire with a clamp on meter (if you have one) and see if its pulling any...

    Corning PC-620 120V 1113W Repair

    I would unplug that white plug next to that black relay and check the ohm reading of the element on the end of the plug. I'd guess it would be about 6 to 10 ohms? The 1113 watt rating is probably including the motor load.

    No way would I trust that meter for anything near 1000v. Even if the meter itself is ok, your putting your life in the hands of those HongKong test leads.

    I love that guy! Just try not to cut yourself as much as that guy does. (Band aids on every finger)

    Anyone near Indiana?

    Thanks for the scope recommendation. I'll look out for your 54501/11. I know deals can be had on Ebay, but the shipping costs can be a killer. No, I've got all the meters I'll ever need. I can't imagine enjoying something that looks and tastes like axle grease.

    You forgot the router table, miter box, cumpass, files, rasps, and hand saws. And to add to CDrives rather archaic list; Adze, awl, broad ax and drawing knives.

    And the wattage will be different if running at other than the proper voltage.
