    A note to new registrants...

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ever seen this for a reg/rec

I'm only looking at this specific case. I'm not saying it's good or bad in this case. I'm just saying that it works. (in this case). And how are they that brazen? You have a guy, that's able to come up with a r/r out of radio shack parts but you don't give him the credit that he's fixed the ground system? Surely trevor can get us more pictures of the entire system and we can make further observations.


I've seen some half assed attempts to fix stuff. This seems well thought out and not half assed.

I guess we have different standards :(

I gave him credit for "industrial artistry"; that is about it.
 
I've advised Trevor to replace both his stator and the 'dew hicky' thing as they are both over 20 yrs old and he would get a lot of piece of mind knowing they have been replaced. Interesting discussion though (sort of), I knew that photo would stir something up :)
 
The designer of this R/R simply duplicated the crudest form (single phase control) of SHUNT regulation known

no,no. "Crude" would be attaching the sum of all AC legs rectified (red wire) to a huge zener diode or the scr . ... I know "crude"! This is better than that.

(I'd wonder what the parts number is on the scr ?)
