Der Schrauber funktioniert tadellos bei 20V mit 2 Ampere, die Akkus sind halt hinüber. 2,5 V bei einer 4V Li-Ion Zelle ist für mich tiefentladen...eine bei 2,8....und die andern beiden solide bei Nulllinie. Ich überlege sie in einen Kochtopf auf den Balkon zu packen und einzeln laden versuchen? Oder besser neuen Akku kaufen und den nicht bis zum Exitus quälen. Das reicht für heute, der andere hat ein verklemmtes Bohrfutter, morgen mal schauen.

New video! Inspecting and refurbishing a very special (to me) Commodore 64 that has been in the Beta family since the 1980s.

Repair Café Starter Guide: Fix More, Waste Less

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, Repair Cafés are a fantastic initiative that promotes a simple yet powerful idea: fix more and waste less.

Needed to #repair kids toys again, and almost used up all my duck tape 🙈 2-part epoxy seemed right for this job, and I used the other glue earlier to fix another thing.
Realized I'm missing some oil, might pack a tiny bottle of Ballistol next time 🤔

And the machine herself.

I’ve been sewing on her for months in a sort of make-do setup, but she behaves much better with her proper woodwork back in place.

The last photo is of the bobbin winding mechanism, which I love to bits. Winding bobbins has never been so soothing!

Cleaned up the terminals and put insulation rings on the cells selected for the next battery pack. This is for the Jasion brand ebike that I received in disrepair and tested the motor. I managed to salvage the down tube battery case so I arranged the cells in the holders from that. Nickel strips and spot welding are next.

RepairPartsTeam

Repair Parts Team offer you both Appliance Spare Parts and a Repairer directory to help you keep your appliances working Fix it yourself or contact a local Engineer to fix it for you!

Experienced bodgers will probably recognise this. It's the thing that makes your washing machine die every few years - the door switch. When my 25-year old Hotpoint machine refused to start, this switch was the second thing I suspected (after the plug fuse). Luckily I had a spare, so the machine was back in service after less than an hour.

Now I'm off to see if you can still buy these switches.
