Oh I've got lots of photo-flash capacitors because my son works at Jessups. Its C1 and C2 on "the board" that I have a problem with. By the way, I've...

Under Brians stuff there are a couple of pictures on how I did the plumbing. Brian Fairey. ps where as everyone got too? all the machines are built and...
Brian as I noted in the book the meter is not really needed but it makes the powersupply look more impressive. If properly connected the meter should drop to...

Hello all, I have been lurking since I believe the group started, collecting parts and dreaming of building "the machine"...now I am ready to really start. At...
So you can use a small flow of tap-water that runs to waste and you only need oil if you are working it a long time in a tank? Now my tap-water is "hard"...
Hi Guys, I am a newbie in this group so, bare with me. If you have to use water as a medium, could water from a condensation-type tumble dryer be recuperated...

Hi Cary, That's also good to know, about the control transformers. I didn't cut my transformer apart so that it wouldn't get messed up. I threaded it...

jim, a good way to make nice round holes in sheet metal is to use a "UNI-BIT"(some call them step bits) type drill bit.  a cheaper but good version is...
It's actually a sheet metal face pop riveted to a really flimsy sheet metal spring clip type of cover (computer jack hook up type cover). The original spring...
