Be careful when using the multi-wire flat rainbow color ribbon jumper cables with connectors already installed that you can buy on eBay for a few dollars to extend the 7000 power supply cables. I used

Decided to use discrete 4amp 600V diodes for the bridge instead of the module. Arranged the diodes side by side - 2 on the bottom and 2 on the top to fut the .5" area. Soldering was a little tricky -

Thanks Dave. I used a Dremel tool with a pointed burr bit to drill into and carve off the four corners around the pins - worked like a charm took & just a minute. All I need to do now is wait for the

Hello Gentlemen, My 7904 blew the 4A line fuse. It didn't blow the 2A fuse. The big caps aren't shorted nor are any other components that I checked. So, I think I narrowed the problem to one of the di

Does it make a ticking sound - like 1/sec? You may need to put your ear close to the cover to hear it. If so, it's something in the PSU - rectifier board, LV board, inverter - likely a shorted tantalu

Fabio, The white stuff is Liquitex - an acrylic paint medium used by artists to mix colors. Comes in assorted thicknesses and finishes. I used the medium matt finish. They all dry clear. You can also

I've used the cold transfer method - it works a lot better than heat transfer for transferring images. There are many youtube videos on the method. The process can be used on just about any medium - w

I would think that it's the moderator's responsibility and no one else (elders or otherwise) to filter the various threads. There are certain topics that are completely off topic like politics and sho

Good info - wasn't aware of those links. Thx Tom Best, John Justin

When I was a poor undergraduate engineering student, I had a '56 ford that had a bad starter motor. I use to park it on a slight incline, then put it in reverse and pop the clutch in order to start it

Interesting and informative!

If you don't get the tic sound, there is another line fuse that is inside the PS. Is the neon bulb on inside of the PS on? John wrote:

I had misread and thought that that scope was from the '70s according to his post. Tantalum caps were first developed for the military in the 1930s. Solid electrolyte tantalums were developed by Bell

Bring up the ac slowly using a variac - that will help with saving those fussy tantalum caps,

Wear a good chemical respirator mask and do it outside if possible. Use plenty of ventilation if you need to work inside. The stuff is a known powerful carcinogen! Be careful! John Justin

Do you get the classic "ticking" sound from the power supply that indicates that it's trying to start? Did you check to see that you inserted the cables correctly- i.e., it's easy to offset a connecto

If the voltage drops across the fuses don't reveal a problem, then I read that you should check for a stuck relay (most relays are in the same place as the fuses). One person reported that he checked

I learned something interesting about the intermittent battery drain problem that I've had with my car - which may have been going on for many years. I have a 2001 Chrysler 300M - a battery has lasted

I read that silicone is somewhat conductive so you need to be careful with the transistor. I use arctic silver 5 (which is not silicone based) but you should be able to use any silicone based compound
