Broken Air Compressor

IMG_0162.JPGIMG_0163.JPGIMG_0182.JPG

This is the worse thing that could happen besides the power being out.  The air compressor decided to quit and the magic red button did not fix the problem.

I replaced the motor around January 1, 2006 so I guess it had a good run?  The belt also looks like it needs to be replaced. 

But I wanted to connect the emergency air compressor to the larger tank and I am not really sure how.  I removed the air gauge and I can fill it from there?  I need some hose to try out my theory.  Maybe tomorrow.

Broken camera – update

I received my camera back from N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc. which sells an extended warranty from Amazon.com.  They fixed the camera back to new it seems and was better than the Canon factory warranty with handling the problem.  If you are interested with what the camera looked looked like before check this link out.

If you have something to sell let me know.

I purchased some stuff from Greg today so he could clean out his garage.

I purchased this broken computer?  It has some sort of oily black stuff in it but it was a good deal and maybe it will work.

I also purchased these Water Wizard 2 Hyper-Concentrate tanks, a garbage can, some Hydro Pel Yellow, some Qual Chem Qyellow Additive, a motor with a propeller at the end, 3×3 solenoids blocks and a 1×4 solenoid block and a Dema solenoid electrical thing.  I also am purchasing some other stuff from his brother, lots of interesting things.  Maybe I should sell some of this stuff or my stuff?

Fake Craftsman tools?

I got my fake Craftsman tools today from Woot.com.  I paid $5.03 for 3 x 12 piece sets.  I needed some extra screw drivers and I always purchase the best.

I did learn a lot about using a screw driver from reading the Warning label on back of the package:

1)  always wear eye protection (I can not see without eye protection so I am safe (glasses).)
2)  disconnect power before using the tool on electric work or electrical sources (This would add a step to every electrical project! 🙂 )
3)  never use to pry (What?  I thought that is what a flat head screw drivers were for;  also for digging.)

Breaking the LAW!

Look what I found at the car wash just laying on the ground.  Now I can insert this piece of a seat belt into my Honda Fit and I will not get any more annoying beeping when driving without my seat belt.  It was a slow day and now I can drive around all day with no seat belt.  Actually, I am not sure why I still have this piece. 

How to change out Dremel brushes

IMG_7722.JPGIMG_7724.JPG

This Dremel MultiPro is model 395 and you need to purchase the Dremel motor brushes 90930.  So when the Dremel does not Dremel anymore, replace the brushes, just like your vacuum motors.  Find the blue brush holders, there are 2 (last picture).

Unscrew it and remove the brushes to replace, pretty easy.
