Re: Reprise off-line?

OK - so far found that the domain is not due to expire until 18th July this year. So at least the
domain itself is OK.

Stan Griffith's Tektronix resource site (at reprise.com) seems to be not responding.



Does anyone else have this problem?

PS does anyone know how Stan is? I know he had some health problems about a year ago.

Anyone know the manufacturer of BSM connectors used in several Tektronix plug-ins?


Re: c-clip pliers

 

I got mine set to daily summary. No problems. I also don't see duplicate posts. I post right at this website with no email software, strictly web based, as is my email anyway.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone wonders who has this problem or not.


Re: c-clip pliers

 

That also fails to explain why I got three copies of a single message that I posted.

Re: 500-series fan motor disassembly.

 

Thank you, Shaun.

OK, press-fit retainers; it seems I was missing the correct English terms.

I'm missing the recommended mechanical tools and technique to properly
dis-assembly it.
Mounting can probably be performed well with a soft plastic hammer.


Perhaps clean up assembly, check the shaft/bushing fit and go from there.
If I understand correctly, you are suggesting to avoid dis-assemble it.
From a preliminary inspection, I don't think it's an option in my case.
Search the archive for Stan Griffiths' posts, mentioning good reasons to
completely disassemble it.

Sebastian.

Yes, I see the issue now. Your motor has cast endbells and press fit

granting you can disassemble them without apparent damage, they often do
not reassemble properly.

Re: The vintageTEK Museum needs your help

 

That is pretty clever. Perhaps scanning on a bed scanner is unlikely to produce
usable results. What about these on eBay?

or


The software talks about TWAIN driver. That should be available on Linux as
well as Windows.

What about my idea of making a video of the drawers while flipping the tabs
to show the information on each tab? Then we could identify what fiche
are worth scanning and what are not.

Re: Duplicate Messages and messages without previous context

 

It doesn¡¯t really annoy me. I¡¯m more worried about fellow list members who might be annoyed at reading my duplicate posts and wondering why I sent the post twice.

Thanks for the enquiry, Dennis.

Re: [Admin] groups.io settings.

 

Some list owners just don't want anything but new messages. I don't think that's the case here but some will nag you if you don't trim pretty thoroughly and some don't understand that the archive won't get messages that are responded to only to the original poster.

Re: [Admin] groups.io settings.

 

I always receive and send emails using my email client (Thunderbird). About the only thing I use the web interface for is to access files and photos or to look back through a thread.

I've also noticed that the "duplicate copy" phenomenon does not occur most of the time when I send an email. I haven't yet tracked whether it happens when I originate a post or respond to a post, or either. n any case, it appears to be an intermittent occurrence.

I uploaded some pictures:

As a reminder for anyone reading this (the posts from the web interface
removed the thread history), I'm looking for advice on removing the metal
end caps/retainers of the bushings assemblies.
