the all aussie dribble thread!

I'm wondering if it got moisture in it.

Does the transformer marked SY-1 LOOK OK?

Good picking Chippy !! It doesn't have continuity but the one next does. SY-1 looks burnt.

told mines about a month off now so,,, waiting waiting tho i suspect it will push out when customs get involved

That stock looks very nice.

Is it real timber or faux? If it's real I want one!

its real, it was in a bad way when i got it. it is an old norica i picked it up for a $50

I suspect you have 2 separate transformers for 2 different functions.

One I am guessing is the heater and the other the runs the ultrasonic bits.

I guess the one blown is the heater one and it was either faulty or the heating element went first and then took it out. These are very long shots.

The rest looks good in the pics but you may have a blown capacitor. Hard to tell.

Can you run it with the heating element disconnected?

Just did some reading on what I think is your circuit board, or close enough.

The transistors are not sufficiently rated to handle 240v. The diodes blow also (4 of them). They'll all do 110/120v fine.

The boards really made only for 110/120v and the 240v is a bad design, as with too many Chinese electrics that are designed in China.

To get it to work reliably your going to need to change some resistors, diodes, new SY 1, new 250v 1A fuse I think, it's a full rebuild.

That board will always fail soon on 240v unfortunately.

This may be a stupid suggestion(im no electrician)but what about using a stepdown transformer ?

I'll send it to you for repair lol. The fuse was a 3a 250v melted the crap out of it.
There are 2 boards; this is one of them. I think it's a 2 stage ultra sonic unit. 2 frequencies. Heating was still happening when it died.

Skip I think the step down maybe dearer than the unit. But a good idea.

They won't get 5 grand for those if they're lucky, and they've prolly done 50 grand of damage as well, stolen 2 vehicles.....FFS. ....

Bloody numbnuts!

If you send it to me don't expect it back working. I can't build electronic stuff, don't even own a soldering iron....the last circuit board I built was when **** Smith owned **** Smiths. The bloke across the road taught me a little bit. He built his own tvs, computer, ham radio (I put his long wire aerial in the top of the pine tree in our yard when i was about 12yo).he ended up inventing a number of different wifi devices, he could fix it but he'd prolly do what I'd do, bin it.

**** all around here nowadays except the od patch where there's heaps and heaps

You mean round at Duntroon.

They will out last religion. Remember that vineyard with all the rabbits **** I smashed heaps there then bens mate ****ed all the irrigation with the shotgun

Its down to 450 I asked if I could check it out and got no reply I suggest some of you bloke ask some serious questions about this performance saw

 

[skipster]

nope,too scary.

anyone got an account GB Forestry?

Vince your a beast mate. Thanks a heap again.
Enjoy the picco full chisel chains

they sell direct to public, a mate got a 30" bar/chain off em, just made contact through their facestalk page

Can't bid, half this ugly face would leave me worse than a busted a8sehol;e!!
