I find the US cleaner is great for some things and just okay for others. I mix a couple of cap-fulls of purple power degreaser and hot water. My unit has a heater, but I'm impatient. It does an excellent job on things like plastics parts... especially star posts. I do all my coils in the US...

Sorry man. I found two sheets. One is good and being saved for my IJ. The other sheet was the bad one I pulled from my TZ project ages ago. It was pretty scratched up, so I finally tossed it.

Looks like you can tick one off the wish list Todd ;) Congrats. One day I'll have to put one of these into the lineup.

Hamilton is also further for any Ottawa and QC people we'd hope to get. Maybe an extra hour to 90 min when compared to an East end GTA location. But the offer of a proper convention space for free (or even at a greatly reduced rate) is VERY tempting. Hmmmmm.

Brock... can you check with PDI on this order and see if they'll ship you some of their 'proprietary' cleaner? I know you're not supposed to use windex on this stuff and I have no clue what is safe to use. I assume it's probably the same stuff they give you to spray on anti-reflective...

I know. This guy used them for his own project.

I sold them to a guy on pinside ;) That cab sure looks all purdy and shiny!

We brought back some glass from EXPO... not on purpose mind you. A buddy asked us to pick up an order from Terry and (surprise!) it included some glass :lol: I was worried it would break the whole way home. Anyway, it wouldn't be a huge deal for soemone to bring a sheet from Allentown. I'm...

You'll wanna get there Thursday night

YUUUUP!!!! Can't wait. Time to start putting away a few banjamins and working on my negotiating skills :D

Not much of a prophecy I'm afraid :) Seems you're always on the road. Well, at least my task lines up with yours as well. And I'm very grateful... just in case I haven't mentioned that yet? :D

Good thread. I think these are a must have. Long neck Klein magnetic nut drivers. Pinrestore.com sells them and I'm sure you can find them elsewhere too. For Allen keys, please don't buy the sets where they're all attached like a Swiss Army knife. Get long armed individual ones. I also like...

I removed the original ramps off my NIB Tron last year and replaced them with LE ramps when I was beta testing Eli's fiber optic ramp mod. Since I was only 1 of 3 testers, I wanted my build to look as close to the LE as possible. I hadn't planned on selling them (figured I'd keep them as...

Glad you finally have it working again! A month huh? time flies. I'd like to add to Doug's post that the transistors mentioned are also used in most Rottendog boards. I found this out the hard way. Anyway, I have a few RD boards kicking around, so I placed an order for a bunch of IRL540 a while...

I'm always good for one (or two) ;)

I agree. That could be a lot of fun. Weather being the big wild-card of course... but it wouldn't be hard to set up a few tents. I may be able to help with that. I wonder what sort of venue we could use for an outdoor gathering that wouldn't cost a lot?

Generally not a good idea to replace a bad coil with a good one without first addressing the cause. Coils don't usually just fail on their own... and they can be pricey. There are various resources you can look up on how to test transistors, but it's basically setting your DMM to diode setting...

Aha! Got it. It looked like you had multiple wires going into the molex at the aux power supply... So I assumed your ground was also there. I assumed the clip to the coil was some mystery 3rd wire. It all makes sense now.

Pretty cool. I like how it is activated by the coil. Did you find an LED strip that was rated for the same voltage as the coil... or did you use a transistor to bring the power down? Otherwise, the higher voltage of the coil could burn out your LED strip pretty quickly. I'm no electronics whiz...

I think you're gonna lose your man card if you don't AT LEAST set up that Zaccaria Robot before you do any of the above :? What's it been? A year?? DOOOO EEEEEEET MAN!!!
