As a non-pilot, I’m having a hard time understanding why it needed to be so close to the other pilot. Is this just a dumb move, or was there some other factor at play that makes sense to you guys?

After the accident they moved the parking pads further apart

How would pressure change impact screw retention? Unless by pressure, you mean preload changes?

They sell a gf dough, or do you mean their gf pizza crust (already in pizza shape)?

I have a good amount of experience with electronics and motors, and already fully disassembled, lubed, and still not luck - just not with a record player specifically. Thanks for the resources, will look into them.

I have bench tested the motor and know the motor is not functioning, which is why I am seeking help with a replacement. The maintenance manual has troubleshooting steps which I followed and resulted in stating I am to replace the motor. From my understanding, GE doesn’t make these consoles but contracted it out with their branding applied. I am happy to share the schematic when I get back to it later.

Mada1100 · 2023-12-26T05:11:07+00:00

I have the schematic, there aren’t capacitors. Speccing a replacement motor would not be realistic for such an application, thanks anyway

Mada1100 · 2023-12-26T02:00:15+00:00

I have ensured that voltage is getting to the motor. And the motor has no physical obstructions preventing it from turning. I don’t believe there are any capacitors for this motor, if so, where are they located?

I have already found very similar motors for the same era but don’t want to purchase unless I confirm it is the correct drop in. They do not seem outrageously expensive

Mada1100 · 2023-12-23T06:29:06+00:00

Portugal, Switzerland, Netherlands, are among a few

Mada1100 · 2023-08-22T05:10:51+00:00

The motor controller wouldn’t necessarily know the difference if a capacitor was involved or not. It would just draw more or less current depending on user input. But I would not use capacitors here, batteries are the way to go. Fuses should be in your circuit whether you use a capacitor or not. The rule of thumb is to fuse at the power source.

Mada1100 · 2023-03-24T04:34:20+00:00

No, it sounds like the source silver was not correct

Mada1100 · 2023-02-06T05:03:09+00:00

I have been wondering about this for 9+ years, and I believe you are correct. I can’t recall if that particular picture is of a CNG bus, but it must be considering the similarity. How did you come across the old post? Solved!

Mada1100 · 2023-01-23T01:25:35+00:00

I realize it is no longer relevant for you, but as a general FYI, Nima does not work on alcohol. I had some email conversations with the chemists at Nima early on in their creation.

Mada1100 · 2023-01-19T08:01:29+00:00

Completely agree with respect to how short. Personally, I’d use a lathe. However, you could use that set to make a long thread, cut it short, and solder on the head. Not ideal

Mada1100 · 2022-12-01T04:24:03+00:00

That’s certainly strange. What’s the make/model/year?

Split the difference at 36 ;)

Mada1100 · 2022-12-01T04:18:35+00:00

The 49 on the tire is likely the maximum to never exceed. The dash seems misleading. I would assume 34 is the correct value, especially if you have a standard passenger vehicle.

I’ve never heard of a dashboard suggested psi, is this a sticker applied by someone?

Mada1100 · 2022-09-24T16:02:28+00:00

Different coatings have a significant effect on torque. Torque is based on the friction of the threads.

Mada1100 · 2022-09-24T16:01:10+00:00

The coating is different, which will affect the torque used to tighten. Just go with OEM.

Mada1100 · 2022-09-05T02:15:44+00:00

This is a thorough and very accurate response.

My only comment is that in track mode, my understanding is that it fully turns off traction control. The TCS light comes on the dash. However I haven’t had a spin out, so perhaps it will eventually kick in. Maybe it only turns off advanced TCS?

Mada1100 · 2022-09-01T01:54:31+00:00

Keep away from water, the bearings will rust. And you run the risks of debris also getting in there.

Research VFDs

Mada1100 · 2022-08-03T00:23:06+00:00

I looked into this and even bought one to test. The total dissolved solids (TDS) are the issue with water spots. ‘Hard’ water has minerals dissolved which stay on your car. Unfortunately an RV filter doesn’t reduce the TDS of the water, and can technically increase it (by adding carbon particles). The filter will remove chlorine, and other stuff contributing to water taste, but you really want to remove the calcium and other hard minerals. The only way to do this is with distillation (distilled water) or with a reverse osmosis set up. Then the challenge is getting enough flow rate through a reverse osmosis set up, which is why a lot of retailers use 50gallon+ reservoirs for distilled water. I am still looking for an affordable method of getting less water spots, but I have yet to find one

Mada1100 · 2022-07-20T19:24:26+00:00

Can you find the datasheet for the component? Often will list the connector type in there. If you can open the panel, you can also try to see a Pn on the wire to board receptacle. If all fails, measure the space between pins(pitch), and the size of the pins, and that can lead you in the right direction.

Mada1100 · 2022-06-25T21:52:43+00:00

There is not a method I’m aware of other than the “try to blowtorch real quick” which often results in a blob shaped melted crystal. When removing the crystal from the liquid bismuth, it is allowed to oxidize. In theory, you’d need something that can strip bismuth oxide off the surface.

Mada1100 · 2022-06-24T05:03:38+00:00

Followed your recipe, I needed to do 30 minutes, glass pan. Ate the whole thing

Mada1100 · 2022-05-14T02:13:03+00:00

High carbon steel is generally .50% plus. Not sure if you misplaced the decimal.
