    Xmas light string blinker for LEDs?

    I think your attitude is correct sir! But even that wont help with a DC set of LEDs!.. But I will shut up now . Hopefully somebody will give you a solution.. Forgive me.. Martin

    Xmas light string blinker for LEDs?

    I think your grandfathers would understand that times change! Back in the old days they switched AC. Don't get me wrong, they still do.. But lighting has moved forward to more efficient LEDs. Softer, cooler running and energy saving! Blame the government, not us! We can still make yours flash...

    Xmas light string blinker for LEDs?

    Hi, I would be happy with your lot! You could always sit by the window and turn the switch ON, OFF, On OFF etc.. Or a timer set for every minute!. If you cannot change or modify the sets, you are pretty much stuck with the functions. Again, Ebay has LED strings that flash for $2.

    Rapid response!

    Nice one hexreader, thanks for confirming. As I said, I have never used them or heard of them. But it's great to hear they are a legite company and people from the UK endorse their services.. Martin

    Transistors

    Hi ALFRED, I would check capacitors before anything else. Is it a tube amp? If so, wait for the veterans here!! Transistors do and can get hot but noticabley different to the other channel would suggest a fault. You have a direct advantage by having a stereo amp, check each stage for any...

    Rapid response!

    Hi Davy, TBH, I have never heard of or used Rapid Online. I would wait and see if your items turn up before singing their praises! They might have the last laugh:p Gosh, I am such a cynic!! Martin

    B&t Tracer unit, xenon flash not working.

    T2 looks like the wrap has come away and the black plastic has bubbled! I think this is a job for "super Edd" Martin

    Help me draw this circuit's diagram

    You did a great job of "beefing up" the high current path with solder! Surely you can remember with such few components.. Any how, a diagram would look identical to what you have as Minder said "follow the lines" Martin

    Faint display on Aiwa Tuner

    The FL901 is a filament heated display to Pins 1,2 and 34,35. Check voltages and the capacitors as GPG suggested. I would go further and check all the capacitors. In you middle picture, bottom cap looks swollen. Or is it camera angle? C80 I think. You could try reflow the solder to all the pins...
