I fix stuff. I build and design stuff. I love old vintage electronics.
Hakko is litteraly the best so ya
Oh it's not led, it's still a phosphorus based display. Like a really really simplified crt
Thank you for letting me know of the issue tho. It will surely help in the future figuring out if a "new" chip is good
I did the experiment and it wiped clean off. Now I have a brown shiny chip
Beautiful work! Also oh God. Italian electronics. Everytime I have to fix something made in Italy i grow a gray hair. And I'm italian :P
Locks up in ms
Yes, the motor is connected to a VFD (which obviously is a modern addition) it has brake resistors. So if you press the e-brake the thing
Because this machine makes gears. Steel piece goes in gear comes out. The plc holds the software and g-code
Didn't know that. Makes sense. I Paid alot for that chip and it's busted. Man people would counterfeit their own mother these days
Oh there's nothing standard on old electronics. Pretty much everyone did everything in home,so they have their own environment. Software too
/3 for the new plc. Extremely expensive but most of all hilarious big downtime. Every hour a machine is not making pieces is lost money
New electric panel, New automation, rewrite the software and then find someone to extract the old g-code, convert to cad, and then rewrite
Because this machine is used in a gear-making factory and inside the plc there are g-code for pieces to make. So you need a whole new /1
You can fix or replace the cable but your second picture made me sweat cold. Those gold flats die the moment you touch them. Lcd is dead
No way to find one of the same type without spending a fortune or waiting increasing the downtime. I fixed this in two days
this old fellow here
Less than a hour, in the end it was a bad capacitor in the power supply of the control electronics, which was installed in the 90s
.. Recently added protections and proximity turn off switches and sensors. So I'm pretty sure it meets all modern safety standards
I'm just an electronics repair guy that goes around fsctories fixing stuff so I don't know the full story of the machine. However there are
And it smell amazingly. There's something about the grease of old machines that never leaves them.. And it feels like being child again
Stay tuned. Got an 80s three headed lathe with CNC control coming in
Modern electronics reliability is... Questionable.. At best. I shouldn't complain about it tho or I wouldn't be enjoying this beautiful job
Of the plastic cups, new drivers, new cables. There's almost barely anything original now that I think about it
Hi, might do. An amp I was fixing failed again (bad mosfets) and blew out my left driver. So I decided to go all in. Rosewood cup instead 1)
The board must not touch the tin as it will short and either damage itself or the headphones. No it won't explode in your face
Simply a 9v battery
Hi, I doubt it. Not really worth the hassle of "setting up shop" but I can share the pcb files for free so you can have the boards printed
We don't give a shit about the US at all. You are all on your own
So much stuff I could use in there
How's that painful? It's just a couple of RCAs cables from every unit to the amplifier
