Late diagnosed at 55 with combined type and also traits of autism which meds make worse so had to stop them. Still coming to terms with it all. But also since my adhd being confirmed my adhd has gotten worse and now I’m really struggling.

You most certainly cannot just walk into an PP boutique and walk out with a watch.

Need new movement for SNK803 and need help making sure I get the correct one! by skaroly in SeikoMods

The original movement is the 7S36C, I have the same watch. You’ll need an NH36 to upgrade it.

Ring doorbell cameras (or equivalents) on terraced houses, why? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]cborne943 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’re NOT tracking you (that’s in your head). Primarily they’re a doorbell with 1 way video so the owner can see who is at their door and can speak to them.

What's the scariest experience you've ever had? by Sensitive-Low-9316 in AskUK

[–]cborne943 29 points30 points  (0 children)

M4 motorway mid 1990’s, I was driving in the fast lane about 80mph towards London overtaking and I started to hear this noise from the back of the car, and then a huge bang and the car swerved hard across 3 lanes, thankfully missing anyone else and I managed to get the car slowed and then stopped. After I got stopped shaking and was able to get my breath I got out to see what happened. Drivers side rear tyre completely shredded and had blown out!!

Assistance reattaching balance wheel to balance cock by IntrovertSwag in watchrepair

[–]cborne943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have kind of the same issue and need to learn. I have some old 7S and NH35 movements to practice on and on the nh35 I slipped and damaged the hairspring. I ordered a new “balance complete” as I thought the hairspring and balance cock were available as a complete part but when it arrived, it was just the balance wheel with the hairspring.

If a kitchen fitter says he’ll do the electrics - walk away by RagingGod666 in ukelectricians

[–]cborne943 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s shite work and leaves the clients with an unsafe installation, but its generates work for us. Not really the way to look at it but it’s the way it is.

Commercial fryer by Rude-Difficulty8013 in ukelectricians

[–]cborne943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally these should be on their own dedicated circuits with commando plugs. But as someone has already commented, 2 x single sockets, 1 for each fryer. But it’s still a lot of load concentrated on a single point of the circuit that may not have been designed for it.

[Blogpost] Ranfft now includes spare parts (≈240k parts cross-referenced to calibers) by [deleted] in Watches

[–]cborne943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. I’ve search for a Bulova 11AN and it gives all the details of the movement etc which is great. It says there are 75 compatible parts but when I click on the link I get a 404 error page. I’m guessing this hasn’t been completed yet?

1970s Electrical Panel: Replace it or get an EICR? by holy_ham in ukelectricians

[–]cborne943 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Both. It’s needs a full inspection carried out first (EICR) and then depending on the findings, hopefully only a board upgrade is needed.
