He did that before undoing pedestal nuts.I thought Dan did that? if so then another may give a comparison.
If you dont lose coolant then why suspect it? if some got in number 3 but not others maybe needs monitoring.
I would just blat it around with a big grin on me face.
Well i wouldnt here cos it would kill my back, I will stick to the RR

...that I am happy now I have repaired all the stats that weren't working, bar the one that got heated! Although even that one might still be repairable with a new capacitor and relay, and a bit of work on the PCB.
So I have now repaired 8 plus one that was not working completely right.
I made sure I measured the capacitance of the ones I took off, most had gone down from 47 mF to about 20-21. The one that was only just about working had gone down to 23.3 mF. so it interesting what the margin is.
So I now have spares as I had already replaced 2 with the expensive (€58) ones, and bought in a cheaper more basic one, that I have tested and works too.
I feel this is the biggest achievement of my time over here this year.
And all down to an old thread on a Frog electronics forum!!
I wouldn't say I am now a skilled solderer on PCBs but I have got a heck of a lot better. The biggest problem was one soldering point at one end of each capacitor which is possibly just less than 1mm from another track. I think the blown one came about because I strayed into the track even though I did try to clean it up. Also bits of track lifting from the PCB.
So loadsa money saved. Love it!!
Just got to put them all back on the walls in the rooms etc and clear up my workstation.
Enjoy the rest of the arvo folks, it's 31 in the shade over here.

Well the damage was a lot less, than with the plumbing, a nasty smell for a little while compared to a little spillage!Nice result.
It just shows with a little less "its disposable" attitude things can be fixed, well done for perserverance.
So do we now call you Stan Stan the soldering man?

I did do a comp test couple of weeks ago. All are within 10% of one another at around 175/180 except #1 which is much higher (210).
Afternoon folks
Had a day off today, cos I can
M went picking figs and is now tring to dry them. Lets see how that goes. But we have buckets of them available if it goes well
