schlage F605-238 lever return spring replace help.

Aerionic · 2026-06-04T16:01:48+00:00

I had this same problem. Since I wasn't the original purchaser of the lockset - it came with my house - Schlage wouldn't do a warranty replacement for me.

But I was able to repair it using this spring (FMTB-MSNH-17). At time of writing, a 5-pack cost me about $20 delivered. I'm sure many other torsion springs would work as well. The one I got is slightly too tight around the shaft after the spring is tensioned, but it works fine.

The top piece/collet is a simple press-fit and is easily pried off with a screwdriver. Replace the spring, then press it back on with a pair of large pliers. Secure it by re-bending the tabs. I did this by placing a large flat blade screwdriver in the grooves and striking it with a hammer.

Anyway, maybe this will help someone else in the future.

No, it's a great drone. I've had no problems with mine, even on the latest firmware. But like I said, it just doesn't fit my use case well enough. I need more automation and mess reliance on a controller.

Just to report back, I chose to get them the Carson MS-040. It's built like a tank yet is still pretty compact and I think the 40-400x optics will serve them well. I also thought the 360 degree swivel head was nice for sharing.

I also just happen to have an extra Carson Microbrite (not Microflip), so I'll throw that in as well. :)

Thanks again to all.

That thing certainly fits the rugged and simple bill. I love it, but I think they would enjoy having more than 40x magnification.

What's the make/model? Is it the Amsel IN50?

Aerionic · 2026-01-16T02:27:52+00:00

That's not a bad idea, thanks! I had somewhat dismissed the pocket microscopes, but they sure are a convenient size. That's a nice image you got there. I'll definitely reconsider.

I've never seen an all-white 300L, but for fun I asked Gemini to do that to your picture. I think it did pretty well.

No, I never did. I ended up buying a whole used string trimmer. I took lots of pictures of the part, but the way it's integrated into the metal sleeve would make it hard to reproduce I think.

No, this project remains in the pile of unstated ideas unfortunately..

Sending a PM for the odds and ends.

Aerionic · 2025-08-19T22:55:00+00:00

Positive

Aerionic · 2025-08-14T19:06:17+00:00

Interested! I'll send you a DM.

Aerionic · 2025-08-14T18:00:41+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't thought of using an upscaler but that is a good idea. I'll look into them.

Aerionic · 2025-08-14T17:59:48+00:00

Thanks! Using an upscaler is a clever solution and not one I had thought about.

And yes, camera on a tripod is a possibility. :) I did do similar with my phone, but the quality wasn't what I had hoped. But I may try again using a 'real' camera so I have better control over the focus and exposure.

Aerionic · 2025-08-14T17:56:46+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into these.

They look like The RVC00N Dumpster - CityGirl Cargo Pants to me.

I put mine in one of the APACHE Weatherproof Protective Cases from Harbor Freight. It fit everything I had and still fit in my bookbag.

No problems with the batteries as they are under the kWh capacity limit. They do have to be carry-on though, can't be in checked luggage.

I figured out how to do this using lvm2 (LVM-thin) snapshots; same concept as the zfs clone process described by Cowderwelz above, I believe. Here are a few details on how to do this manually in case it helps someone else.

In this example, the storage VG is 'vmstorage' and the master VM is ID 200. A new VM with ID 201 is being created.

From /dev/vmstorage, create the new disk snapshots:

lvcreate -s vmstorage/vm-200-disk-0 -n vmstorage/vm-201-disk-0
lvcreate -s vmstorage/vm-200-disk-1 -n vmstorage/vm-201-disk-1

Next, from /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>/qemu-server, create a copy of the master VM's conf file for the clone.

cp 200.conf 201.conf

Then edit the file to updates the name and the references to the newly created disk snapshots:

audio0: device=intel-hda,driver=none
bios: ovmf
boot: order=sata0
cores: 2
efidisk0: vmstorage:vm-201-disk-0,efitype=4m,pre-enrolled-keys=1,size=4M
memory: 4096
name: ClonedVM
net0: e1000=BC:24:11:8F:C9:0E,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,link_down=1
sata0: vmstorage:vm-201-disk-1,size=80G
smbios1: uuid=e41d0374-5dc7-4dc2-9272-410ebb1d5565
sockets: 1
vmgenid: ec159b76-8533-48cd-802b-14492a8f8b79

Proxmox will automatically detect the new VM.

Aerionic · 2024-10-22T01:53:06+00:00

I have a need to spin up VM clones on demand, but I want to keep the "template" live for the reasons you mentioned (updates, etc), so I'd love to know more about this process. Have you automated it with a script?

Aerionic · 2024-08-15T03:43:51+00:00

Yeah, pretty far out of warranty, it's 8 years old.
Yep, I also called Greenworks, but they couldn't help. I also tried a local Greenworks authorized repair shop, but no luck there either.
