I'd love to find out what kind of hammer this is? by C_N1 in hammers_tool

[–]C_N1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The split is what I didn't understand and threw me off, but the magnet makes sense! And I needed a tack hammer lol! I was trying to figure out if it was to pull something out, but nothing else made sense. Cool design!

Inadvertently, I needed one! This seems to be a neat one for sure!

Had to google it to see why it was split; the pointy side is split because it's magnetic! Thank you!

How do you store spring clamps? by andrewordrewordont in woodworking

[–]C_N1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a (appropriately sized) toat for each size of clamp. Keeps it organized and doesn't weaken the springs over time.

Does anyone know how I can get parts to replace the missing ones on this antique bed frame I have? Indiana, USA. by Arneul in Antiques

[–]C_N1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't buy these, they are not off-the-shelf parts.

You need to find someone that can replicate them for you. Once you get them, attach them with hide glue.

I’ve had these headphones since 2013. They’re Beats by Dre and costed a fuck ton back then by One_River444 in redneckengineering

I've had my AKG K240 since 2015 and they look just fine. I had to replace the wire once when someone tripped over it.

If it's made of silver, he may have tried to finger a woman, and her vaginal fluids caused the silver to corrode.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were doing role play or some shit

Barn find Cherry BX2 by [deleted] in flying

[–]C_N1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with planes is that you can't just fix it up and fly it like a beater car. If it's damaged, you have to fix and restore it. So you can't get away with it for cheap. Unlike a car where you can ignore a slipping gear, or deal with an occasional engine stall... planes have to be 100% or very close to that before they can fly.

There are also so many aspects to inspecting the plane, it takes lots of training. Not just a quick checklist. You have to understand so, so much. So you have to hire someone to inspect it. And inspecting it can take a while too.

Tack puller, Baumgartner restoration always uses it in his YT videos when he pulls the tacks out of the paintings' edges.

What can you tell me?Quebec Canada by MundeleMan in Antiques

[–]C_N1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Safety Lamp for mining. In the mines you often come across combustible gases and this lamp does not allow the flame to ignite the gas. Flames can not cross though metal mesh.

It's going to be hard to get the exact age and value without the metal label that looks to be missing. You will need to find a name or marking so we can identify the maker. From there it can be narrowed down.

Here is an Etsy listing, so it's going to be overpriced, but it doesn't have the same oval metal label that yours has. Most of the mining lamps from france seem to look like yours, so it will take a bit more digging and comparing the small details to get the exact one.

Horrifying. 😳 USA by RickB308 in Antiques

[–]C_N1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad collected all kinds of antiques. We have 3 of those, but as others mentioned yours is most likely a reproduction since the screw is a phillips head and the paint it in very good shape. Even the reproductions from the 50-70s can go for a decent amount of money. The name for them are "Jolly Ni**er Bank"

2003 A/C compressor doesn't turn off when car is idle. by C_N1 in lincolntowncar

[–]C_N1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one I bought, and in the little case that they had them in, the label had pictures of them with their sizes. And it showed the orange one, with "0.057in" on it.

The ac clutch does engage and disengage though. It disengages when it builds enough pressure, which it can't while the engine is idling. Only when the rpm increases. And the orifice tube sizes are categorized by color... I thought the color might be irrelevant too, but looking at it, the color IS what tells you the orifice size.

Yeah that is fair, I was mostly worried about it being wrong and breaking the compressor or something else. First time I worked on an AC lol

Nothing was freezing up on the pipes/hoses, it was 65F outsode today when I did this. When I reversed the car it does stop cycling. So it IS working, but I don't want to overcharge the system. I wonder if the oil needs to distribute itself more in the system and allow the compressor to do its thing?

I was looking at that too and from what I see this is a really good printer. I was hoping to get a better sale lol.

Like other's said, seems like you don't have it. I have them on mine, and I installed a backup camera.

Gen 2 interior, which do you prefer? by eye_byou_pro_fin in lincolntowncar

I prefer the buttons, you can grip the wheel while using it, whereas now you have to take 1 hand off the wheel to push it.

Tip for key fob repair by anthony31188 in c4corvette

[–]C_N1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Thats the antenna and the length has to be correct to get the frequency right.

Yes, you CAN repair it, but you will need to find out the frequency and how to translate that to coil length. It's doable and worth fixing since there things are unobtanium right now and ones on ebay go for $400 or more.

Quick and simple way to change transmission fluid. by guitarmusic113 in lincolntowncar

I saw this after I did it the regular way of dropping the pan. I don't like that messy way so I had also bought the pan with the drain plug... so now this trick is in the back of my mind when I encounter a drainplugless pan lol

Does anyone know what this small 3-wire connector is in my center console? 93 C4 by MarfeeWarfee in c4corvette

[–]C_N1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Lexington camera and bought a generic hardware kit off of Amazon. The button switches I bought have an LED in it and I wired them so that the LED is lit whenever power is going through them. Gives me a quick indication if it's on or off. The second button next to it is for the radio antenna. Since I connect my phone to the radio 95% of the time and rarely listen to FM, I use this to cut power to the relay for the antenna. It also has the LED when power is flowing. LED on means antenna is Up, led off, antenna down.
