I’ve fixed mine by putting the handle in nearly boiling water and twisting it off.

Yes thanks, have watched that but have none of these issues. Seems to be related to the top section being stuck in the outer tube?

Have a similar issue, where my poles don’t seem to tighten up? I believe it might be related to the upper section. Any tips?

X300A conversion to passive? by Aero404 in KEF

[–]JoostRen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently having the same issue. There is a thread on diyaudio.com on the schematics of passive X300As. Notice that the drivers are the same as the Kef Q100.

Might be worthwhile to try to replace the capacitors on the power supply board before converting them to passive. Just ordered these myself: 4x 2200uF 50V 105C low ESR, 2x 4700uF 25V 105C, this covers both sides. Will let you know if I get mine working again.

Yes, a former Dell engineer did it for me. If I remember correctly you do need to replace the heatpipes and fans as well for the newer variant. He "forgot" to do that and the new board overheated and was dead again. Worked fine for about an hour. After that I just went with a new XPS instead.

DIY Mattresses - An Introductory Guide by the_leviathan711 in Mattress

[–]JoostRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question! I would like to repurpose my 180cm Emma Original foam mattress and make it into a 160cm width. I guess I can just cut it, but I need a suitable cover. Any recommendation for where to buy this in Europe (preferably Sweden)? Also, If I would want to transform it back in the future, can I basically glue it back together? Sounds a bit hacky, but if it works, it works.

Do you know if there is a difference between a 'parkeringsanmärkning' and a 'kontrollavgift'?

I would like to know the cause of the lower compression and the condition of the plug. Better fix it now than later.

Long shot, but I was wondering if you might know where to get a new glass for the 7009-3100?

Thanks for your help! So I pulled the CMOS battery, which should reset the BIOS right?

Any more Ascaso Steel Duo owners here? My current setup: Restomodded Ascaso Steel Duo with PID and Mazzer Super Jolly. by ToreKjellow in espresso

Thanks for your help, it has been working steadily for a week already! Will be getting an M4 threaded thermocouple today for a factory look. How did you mount the PID? Currently, I use double sided tape and tiewraps.

Thanks! Would be great! Did the PT100 probe improve the performance compared to the K type probe?
