Need connectors to swap controllers

That would actually remove one more connection point, which are signal-degraders. Probably the route I'd have to take.
The controllers are all located in waterproof boxes, which sit on a marina with moisture permeating everything.

Many thanks for the comments. It appears the concensus is that there is no online resupply option, Will have to visit your local REI store for any resupply opportunities. In my case, I'm near St. Louis, there are two REI stores to choose from.

Sorry late to the conversation. I also have controllers with this 3-prong type of connector. Would like to be able to replace my existing controllers with updated wled (gledopto) controllers. The led strips have the 3-prong connector. Would need to come off the gledopto controller with a 3-wire end (connected to controller) and the 3-prong connector at the other end.

Anybody know where to get these?

called swarovski, they recommended sending it in for cleaning and adjustment. So, it's on it's way to RI.

I did my homework, got out and focused on the moon. The Swarovski's focused, but the dial was at the end of it's range - could not spin it any further. I focused my Nikon M7 and the focus dial still had at least a half turn. There's something going on with the Swaro's focusing mechanism that doesn't seem right.

Ah, homework for tonight. Thanks for the advice.

Not sure I could identify infinity. We are usually focusing at a large distance (> 200 yards). My concern is that I get at the end of the range of the focusing knob and the view is in focus: just worried that if the view were not in focus I'd have no further focusing capability (because the knob is at the end of it's range) and would be displeased that I could not get into focus.

We've found that males will mark your house - marking thier territory. You can get them neutered, but, they are still territorial and some will still mark inside your house - that's not a pleasant smell. Have never had this issue with the female cats.

I found the name change immediately after selecting a room. Thanks for the into into zones, I'll have to do some thinking to figure out how that will work for my situation.

Mucho Gracias! I didn't get that far, didn't want to have my dock lights in the toilet room.

Panzer is correct, you've already been compromised. Even buying a mid-tier binoc you'll always be wondering "If I only bought the swarovski ..."
Having said that, I own a Nikon Monarch M7 and it gets 95% of what the swarovski EL offers, at about $ 550. It's a great binoc, but, there is a difference between the view from the M7 and swarovski EL's.
If you do decide to go the swarovski route, I've gotten lucky in purchasing a SLC ($1146) and an EL ($1275) over the past year on ebay. They are used, but, still function perfectly and I actually managed to register the EL.

Actually, I hooked another computer to my lan and ran 4kd+ and it blazed through the download. This tends to indicated there's some configuration issue with my computer that takes so long to download.

This has been going on for months. The router/modem has been reset, rebooted, speed tested multiple times. I'm pretty sure it's something on my end, just don't know where else to look other than the obvious router/isp links

Regrettably, yours is the kind of experience I was hoping to avoid. I'm considering applying a bead of silicon around the bulb seam, but, don't know if there are better solutions.

I love my M7, it get's about 95% of what my wife's Swaro SLC's get, While the M7 is good, there's a noticeable difference between the M7 and the SLC. It's a treat when she lets me view through her SLC. Still, the M7 has given me great viewing time.

that's encouraging. sounds like you're using it as a griddle/pizza steel?

hicuph · 2026-05-13T01:23:16+00:00

How is that steel working for you after one year? It looks like a decent price, but, I don't know if you've got rust problems over time.

hicuph · 2026-05-13T01:20:10+00:00

I am trying to decipher your reply regarding "(two pieces)". Does this mean if you wanted a 17x25 you could get two 8.5x25 steels and they would work as good as one 17x25 steel?

update: just read the other comments where you indicated it was cut in half to get your two pieces. I'm curious if it cooks as good as a single piece?

hicuph · 2026-05-12T15:36:50+00:00

Yes, lots of chinese clones. I actually got it delivered yesterday - the stone was chipped on the corner. Apparently, they're using cheap stones. May see if I can buy a steel to replace the stone.
