wefalck Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share #31 Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks, yes they are straightforward MPGs. Windows Media Player or RealPlayer should work without a problem. I am actually working from a MAC. mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbot Posted February 2, 2016 Share #32 Posted February 2, 2016 What program do I need to see you're movies. I use windows 7. Bob Bob, try Media Player Classic. That opens almost anything. Plus it is a free download.

wefalck Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #35 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Sorry for that ... *********************** Testing the diefiler in anger requires a suitable power supply with enough ampères and the right voltage. After my large Proxxon transformer blew out, I constructed from mainly scavenged parts a unit that would fit into the worktable. From the estate of my late father I had a large transformer, a rectifier, and a nice 'antique' volt- and ampère-meter each plus various kinds of sockets and a radio knob. I bought an electronic speed-controller and two switches from Chinese sources. One switch allows to change between the two voltage ranges and the other is set up as a reversing switch. Depending on the size of leads, I am either using small Japanese-type power-supply plugs or 3.5 mm mono-plugs and sockets for both are provided. In addition, I provided sockets for 4 mm laboratory banan-plugs, one going through the speed-controller, the other directly to the rectifier. The power supply is connected via a foot-switch to the mains. This allows to work with hands free and as the transformer is not constantly connected, the energy consumption is reduced and, hence, the waste heat, which is necessary, as the ventilation of the unit in the workbench is not very good.

RichardG Posted February 7, 2016 Share #36 Posted February 7, 2016 I really like the "retro" look. And I'd absolutely want the filer as well ;-) Richard. mtaylor 1 Quote Richard Current Build: Early 19th Century US Revenue Cutter (Artesania Latina "Dallas" - messed about) Completed Build: Yakatabune - Japanese - Woody Joe mini Member: Nautical Research Guild & Midwest Model Shipwrights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #37 Posted February 7, 2016 I think, when you build old-time ship models, the workshop should match this - somehow building old ships with modern plasticie tools looks out of place mtaylor and BANYAN 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
