Vacuum cleaning fun

I cleaned out six vacuums today.  It was a ton of fun.  I hate these baskets, a shovel seems to be much easier to use.

This is William replacing a vacuum motor.  Which also looks like fun.

Motor starter problem

I guess I need to replace this motor starter?  The last time it happened was five to six weeks ago.  http://cwguy.com/?p=1261

Also, my question for today is:  Why does everyone always claim to loose $5.00 when something it broken?  It sure looked like $1.50 but that is just me.  Also, at Hueytown were it is $4.00 for 20 minutes, they still claim they put in $5.00.

Camera problem again

I figured out the problem has to be related with the power cable run?  I can not plug the power line into the power box (either one) because it will blow a fuse.  If I use a 12v  wall wart power supply, magic.  I am using my psx to fine tune the adjustments.

Replaced broken camera

I replaced one camera today.  Also, figured out a power problem for another camera.

Also, I figured out the new cameras I purchased will not fit in the old housings.  So I need to order two new housings, then all the housings will be the same size.

Tire cleaner hose problem

The hose has a little problem.

This is the device I used to cut the hose.  I wonder if I need a tetanus shot after I use this device?  I remember the good old days when it was shiny and new.  I had to walk to the store uphill from my car.

Broken security camera – update

This is the license plate cam and it is a 1/3" cs mount camera, with a 5 – 50mm lense.  The lense is adjusted at the 50mm range.  I did not have all my testing exuipment (extention cord, power suply and my psx) but I will try again tomorrow.  I believe it is a power line problem.  It keeps blowing fuses (AGC-1BC) and I tried both power supplies.

Solenoid problem

Air was coming out of the high pressure gun.  This means that a low pressure solenoid is clogged up.  I like my new air solenoid setup because you can turn off individual selections to figure out the problem.  Then go directly to the correct solenoid bank.

I removed the magnet, then the plunger piece, then cleaned out everything.

This is a close up of the plunger thing.

I cleaned out the base, but it seemed clean.  Everything worked fine after putting everything back together.
