    Happy new year

    I would like to wish all my friends and members of EP a very happy new year for 2020. And also say thank you for the advice and support you have all given over the years. This place is a nice place to be.. Erm, maybe I should shut up now and get another beer!. Martin

    PSU help please.

    The math doesn’t add up either. 600W @ 240V is 2.5A and 600W @ 2.5A = 240V. Where does 30A come from? Martin

    TECHNICS RS-DC10 DCC TAPE DECK. NO PLAYBACK

    After your dinner, put youtube on in the background. Find Mr Carlson's lab. What this chap (Paul) doesn't know, isn't worth knowing. Great find by the way. Martin

    TECHNICS RS-DC10 DCC TAPE DECK. NO PLAYBACK

    Be very gentle. After removing the top, you should see 4 or 6 screws holding the mech in place. You may not see 2 of them hiding under an alum cover. Remove it first. You may also need to remove the screws holding the front on too. Just be gentle and methodical. Don't pull anything. Gently...

    TECHNICS RS-DC10 DCC TAPE DECK. NO PLAYBACK

    I have no idea of board numbers. The board is located under/inside the mechanism. You cannot see or access it without removal. There are about 10 caps on it. Martin

    Yes, they are SMD alum. You might be lucky enough to be able to just get your iron on the tabs. Martin

    Full time power for Hess Truck display case.

    Actually, I just read up on these little collectibles. Is the display going to have older trucks in it too? The older trucks have incandescent mini bulbs and can draw 600-800mA. So in an ideal world, you would need to measure the current draw from each truck. Martin

    Full time power for Hess Truck display case.

    Thanks Bird..... I am also a cabinet maker..:D Rotating each truck is a kin to it's size on a plate. A lazy Susan for example. But if space is at a premium, and the trucks are displayed offset to one another, that'll look nice too. Just a little thought though.. If all the trucks have blazing...

    Full time power for Hess Truck display case.

    Hi, each vehicle has 3 volts via two C batteries. How many vehicles are on display at the same time?. I would guess that the batteries would last about 2 hours of constant use. Guessing by my children's toys with lights etc...... I am sure the toy manufacturers have a good deal with battery...

    British Television?

    This is sooooo Ironic.... I never watch or listen to the (bbc). Yesterday my TV failed. It turns on then changes channel by itself to the bloody (bbc) 5 live news.... TV does not respond to remote or onboard buttons. Just have to unplug it.. Just thought I would share this with you.. BTW, now I...

    TECHNICS RS-DC10 DCC TAPE DECK. NO PLAYBACK

    Hi Stevo 1, Lovely piece of 90s audio. On the cassette mechanism there is a play back and record board. These commonly fail due to bad caps. If you are lucky, the board itself will be re-usable to simply replace the bad caps. If you are unlucky, the tracks will damaged due to leaking caps. But...

    Full time power for Hess Truck display case.

    Hi Bird11, @Harald Kapp gave you some excellent advice as he usually does. I have a couple of questions which may make this a little trickier.... The 2019 tow truck has over 65 LEDs, different sound generators, working tow ramps with hydraulic sounds etc.... The sounds and lights are operated...

    Would you mind to share your wood burning works?

    Hi, pyrocrafting is a great hobby just like drawing or painting. But the individual person who creates these pieces is also very creative and naturally good. Unfortunately for me, I am not creative so cannot draw or paint. The Lichtenberg style of fractal burning gets my attention as I don’t...

    Momentary Switch to directional DC motor

    As you already have a two way toggle switch, that suggests a physical switching of polarity. A momentary push button switch is either push to close or push to open. Without any more information of your wiring setup it’s hard to say. I would think by your basic description that extra circuitry...

    Playstation 1 PSU swap.

    Yes, I am sure it will work. The power supply is only converting the mains voltage to that of the ps1. Martin
