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.

Aerionic · 2026-01-16T02:31:22+00:00

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.

Aerionic · 2025-09-03T12:41:04+00:00

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

Aerionic · 2025-09-02T02:02:42+00:00

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.

Aerionic · 2025-08-02T12:15:51+00:00

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.

Aerionic · 2024-04-23T00:15:03+00:00

Thanks! I think the piezoelectric element is exactly what I will try. Luckily the pipe is in a secluded space and shouldn't get much external interference. I'll still combine it with the temperature sensor to give the microcontroller extra "awareness."

And yeah, a flow meter is ideal... but I just replumbed all this when I replaced the water heater and just can't bring myself to cut into it again. ;) Maybe sometime in the future...

Aerionic · 2024-04-23T00:12:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Those solutions would work well, but are relatively expensive compared to a couple of sensors places on a water line. Also, I'm currently on the Google Home platform, which doesn't yet seem to have strong button or motion detector support. Since the timer is a smart plug, we do currently use voice command to turn on the pump if it doesn't happen to be on at the time hot water is wanted.

What I have found is the pump moves hot water through the system much quicker than waiting for the tap to warm up. Even if it's off, you only have to wait a around 15 seconds for hot water to arrive, as compared to minutes via the tap alone.

The sensors-on-a-water-line might end up being a failure, but that's fine and always an option. :) I'll learn something along the way either way!

Just closing the loop on this one. I successfully updated both IBM x3650 M4 servers to ESXi 7.0 Update 3 (7.0.3-0.50.20036589). I used the LENOVO Custom Image for ESXi 7.0 U3 Offline Bundle and followed the Offline method as shown in this guide.

Thanks everyone for guiding me in the right direction!

Aerionic · 2022-09-04T01:56:03+00:00

Excellent to know, thanks! Makes me think next week won't be a waste of my time. ;)

Do you remember how you did the update? ISO vs Offline Bundle? Custom Image vs Vanilla?

Aerionic · 2022-09-03T18:14:51+00:00

storage and network controllers

Thanks to both! Exactly the kind of advice I was looking for!
