Well, if one thing can be learned from this thread it is that Jim wears suspenders.

Noted, filed and categoried.

 

That is a BC20U transistor. According to JEDEC and/or JANTX apparemtly it can be either an IGBT or a MOSFET as long as it meets the specs, at least I found both listed. but that was Google. I would go with Digikey.

Here :

http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?lang=en&site=us&keywords=bc20u

Several sub-versions available there, all IGBTs. But some hits on Google came up with MOSFETS. I assume this is a chopper in a power supply ? You probably can actually use a MOSFET there, but if it don't switch like a spark gap it will overheat. Stay as close as possible to original of course. You see they have different case styles, you got the metal tab one. Don't lose that insulator.

Solderless breadboards? Don't trust them.

One winding on the armature is probably intermittently open. When the motor stops at that point you are energizing the stator which accounts for that voltage drop, but not the rotor which accounts for the higher voltage drop when it does start.

It is, I would say off the top of my head about 75 % or better chance you need a starter motor, and that is is quite possible a rebuild will NOT fix it.

I used to flip cars. Business started to go downhill when people got too fucking paranoid to carry a thousand dollars anywhere in cash.

unlikley. starter windindings are a single turn, and the brushes
contact several lands. more likely worn brushes.

Itšs not a back-emf diode: I connected the relay coil using both polarities

(using a current-limited power supply) and the same current draw is measured.

So, perhaps it's a varistor. That's a ceramic gizmo, looks sometimes like a disk
capacitor, that has symmetric forward and reverse breakdown. It'd be a good
surge protector, just like a catch diode, but isn't polarity sensitive (so works with
AC or any polarity DC coil excitation).

Like ignoring the warnings in August 2001 that bin Laden was going to attack, and then letting him escape at Tora Bora. Fortuntaely, Obama went after bin Laden when he had the chance. Osama bin Laden is dead!

Or maybe like giving us the Great Recession. Since GWB left, there has been steady and sustainable economic progress. GM is alive!

Mosquitoes can only pass on diseases that have evolved to live inside

But that won't stop the uninformed from wildly speculating.





Umbrage at that snippy statement. Yes, I know how the mosquito injects,

sucks, and leaves. And yes, there are diseases that have evolved to take

advanatage of the 'life cycle'. My point is that if merely 'touching'

one's face with contamination can transfer ebola, why isn't it possible

for the mosquito to simply have 'touched' [in a manner of speaking] and

is merely transferring to another? This is NOT wild speculation from the

uninformed but a very serious question from someobdy counting on others

to know the answers, or at least pursue the answers to these questions.



No more so than a house fly. Mosquitoes are not hypodermics. They may

draw blood, but that blood is digested before they touch another human.

They also aren't honey bees flitting from flower to flower spreading

pollen.



People are infected by coming into contact with infected blood or bodily

fluids. How would a mosquito bite carry any of that from one victim to

the next? If so why wouldn't many other diseases be transmitted by

mosquito?



Are you aware that Ebola is just one of a family of hemorrhagic diseases

which can kill their hosts? Lassa fever, dengue, yellow fever,

tick-borne encephalitis and a whole Hantavirus genus. All very nasty

diseases.



The virus that causes Ebola can only live outside the body for a few

hours... from a CNN article...



'Studies done in Ebola Treatment Units in Africa, CDC spokeswoman

Abbigail Tumpey says, show the virus can live on surfaces for a few

hours at most.



"Ebola is a vicious virus inside the body, but it dies very quickly on

surfaces," she said. "It' s not a hardy virus. It's a very wimpy virus."



Ebola is easily destroyed outside of the body, experts say. UV light,

heat and exposure to oxygen all deactivate the virus over time.



CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said that while it's theoretically

possible for someone to catch Ebola by touching a surface that an

infected patient sneezed on, for example, past outbreaks have shown that

direct contact with a patient's bodily fluids is the way the virus is

spread.'



I would be more worried about many other things than Ebola, MRSA is a

good one to start with. Actually diabetes is a much more likely killer

or obesity. Ebola is getting all the news, but we already have several

health crises in the US and no one pays much attention. There's not

much you can do about Ebola other than sweat. A lot can be done about

our other health problems.



Yep. Wiping out all liberals would improve the health of the United

States immensely >:-}

Come on Jim. It's a pipe dream. Nice thought but difficult to implement.

Hey, Chicken Little! Did you bail out when you thought the sky was falling? Did you miss the buying opportunity? Did you sell low and buy high? According to today's radio news, the stock market is now at an all-time high (S&P 500?). If you want to blame Obama for the near-correction, whom do you credit for the six yers of steady growth and the recent recovery?

What else is going wrong with the economy? Mortgage interest rates are down since January. Gasoline prices have gone down without tanking the economy (maybe they are deliberately trying to hurt Texas and Alaska). Unemployment has been going down at a steady rate.

I lost $40K when GenRad collapsed (options), and I was working for
them at the time... so my crystal ball is a wee bit cloudy >:-}

Maybe it was because the investors recognized the value of your contributions to the company. Does this qualify as schadenfreude?

I\'m on my second electronic variable speed control inside my Dremel
model 395 tool. This one just crapped out with the same
temperamental
symptoms as the last one. I need to use the tool tomorrow night,
and
would like to bypass the internal variable speed circuitry to
simplify
it; maybe buy an external control later.

There aren\'t any wiring diagrams I could find on the Dremel site.
I\'m
thinking if I had one for the model 275 tool (single speed) and the
395 (electronic variable speed), I might be able to make the 395
into
a 275 by just jumpering some wires. I\'ll probaqbly need to at
least
retain the variable speed assembly, since the brushes fit into it.

Can anyone help?

The Guy I work with had the same experience as you. His second Dremel
Oscillating tool quit. He thought the problem was the speed control.

I bypassed the speed control today. Also I bypassed the switch.

Holding the tool with the switch/speed control up (tool unplugged) and the
access panel off snip the black and white wires (where the power comes to the
speed control) up as close as possible to the speed control. The leads are
short.

Next with the tool still in this position you will see a wire coming from the
left side. It goes under the carbon brush assembly on the left and comes to
the speed control. This wire will pull out of a little tab (where it plugs in
to a slot in the top left corner of the opening you have with the access panel
off). I think this is supposed to be the power coming back from the switch.
I pulled this out and discarded it. It was corroded and loose in the slot.
Possibly this was the actual problem. I was too far to turn back.

Now with the tool still pointed away and access opening up - notice there are
two wires coming from the right side to the speed control. If the power is
hooked to these two wires the tool will run (unless there's another problem).

So, I bought a 10 amp toggle switch 4.95 at the hardware store. I drilled a
hole in the left side of the access panel and hooked up the switch to power up
the two wires mentioned above. I soldered insulated stranded wires on to the
toggle switch connections and made all the other connections with very small
scotchlocks (with cone shaped springs inside).

It will work until it stops.

The problem with the tool seems to be the "tab" - "slot" connections. With
all the vibrating and dust they probably end up arcing. That wasn't thought
out well.
