The GYS, does it live?

[Richard.]

I'll try and fire it up in the weekend to see if its still alive.

Have a few thungs in mind that I cant but locally, will do some thinking over a single malt tonight.

Cost for sending the boards will be around 30-40 £, I'm pretty sure it will be less than 2 kg.

If your gutting it of boards Anders you may as well save messing about and send the whole thing. I'm sure he'll want the spares.

 

[Richard.]

Ooh thats given me an idea. I've got a really old BOC transtig in my garage that I could make into a nice coffee table with a bit of hardwood on top and a clean up:P


Aye, I have that feeling too. I do feel bad though, because I wouldn't have sold it to him if I'd have seen the state of the board.
Darren knows he's welcome to it though, I'm keen to help get it fixed because I want to see his ali welding

Well in that case that torch you sent me has fallen to bits. I'm not returning it but you can make it up with a few nice freebies

Nice try

 

[Richard.]

Nice try

 

[penfold]

Worst comes to worst it's got a couple of 35/50 dinse sockets which always come in handy. There's a few other bits I can strip out and so I'm £30 down then. No big one


Massive plutonic manlove from here for that You and me mate, are from the same pod

Platonic manlove only please, no nuclear weapons are allowed on the forum.

 

[eSCHEn]

Yeah no way you're paying/sorting Tom. No one's feelings are hurt here and it's all above board

I think Richard's right Anders, might be easier to ship the whole base over if it's suitable. Less chance of the boards getting mangled by an overenthusiastic customs official

Let me know what you can't get and would like, welding related or not. I can get my hands on a lot of cool stuff and I live in the land that makes the finest whiskey in the world.

Cheers mate, that's the one I sent to GYS as I couldn't find it on their own site!

It's items 11 and 12 (97020C and 97620) that it's needing.

It would probably be easier to chuck an ac module in Anders machine from yours than risk frying another board putting bits in yours.

Exactly. Whichever is the more healthy set of parts will be the winner. Highlander rules

There can only be one!!!!

 

[Tom Orrow L]

Right lads, That thing you've just sent over proved useful Richard I'd never bothered asking before as didn't have correct part numbers. After speaking to my mate at GYS it turns out those two part numbers are obsolete in the UK but not France, and they are available to import from France but would take like a 2 weeks. They aint cheap but if it'll get it working it might be worth considering.

Dropping you a PM now Darren.

 

[eSCHEn]

PM replied Tom

 

[Richard.]

Hope all works out and it results in getting you up and running.
Those gys units of that era were prone to fail over time so a brand new set of cards may give you a good few years out of it. I hope

 

[eSCHEn]

Yep that's the thought mate. It's not the most reliable of boxes but it would be a good start into AC work.

Tom's got some PCB prices and whilst it's stingy as expected it's not as bad as it could be. I'd like to see what me and Anders can arrange if possible first and get the new ones if we can't come to something amicable

 

[TechnicAl]

There can only be one!!!!

Correction............there can BE ONLY one

You have commented on the only film (i know of) that contains reference to a Metallurgist............Sean Connery announce that he is "Ramirez....Chief Metallurgist to the King Of Spain"

In Sheffield the title "Chief Metallurgist" was sort of a honour

 

[penfold]

James Bond was a Master Cutler?

and I live in the land that makes the finest whiskey in the world.

Well, in that case, you ought to know better than that - shame on you!

Go stand in the corner for 10 minutes as a penance.

 

[eSCHEn]

In fairness, I spend all day with that version of the language and it's foul stuff anyway :P

It's OK if it's all you can get. [I'm not in any way alcoholic btw....just joking with you. ]
