Re: Metcal Power Supply testing?

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
I like that idea. I actually looked for that container at Walmart once and will have to look again to see if they still sell it. Until I build my plexiglass tank (lot's of irons in lot's of fires

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
Jeffrey, ? Thanks for the idea on the tank. I am going to build one but until it gets done I will likely etch in a plastic container.

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
Jim, ? Could you explain more on how to make the mix with the copper wire? I like the idea of less corrosive fumes. Thanks, Dave

Re: Metcal Power Supply testing?
The Metcal wand as I understand it, is just a length of flexible coaxial cable. Has anyone tried to home brew one? I have a stash of EBay tips that don't fit my MX500. Maybe thats a way to use

Re: Metcal Power Supply testing?
Both lights, red and green? Normally, green is power, and if there is a red light, then that indicates that the tip in the wand is disconnected, defective, missing, etc.... That is about all you can

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
If you're adding H2O2 to the solution, you don't need bubbles to regenerate since the oxygen from the H2O2 will do the regeneration. Personally I'd make a solution of copper wire in HCl and H2O2 and

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
Jeffrey,You need bubbles if you use HCl plus H2O2, to regenerate the solution. The benefit of bubbles is double. They regenerate the solution and agitate thy he bath at the same time. Just a
