My turbo trainer started sounding really rough yesterday. Stripped it today to see what size bearing it took... super excited to realise I has some of the exact size in the shed! #Repair people may appreciate how good this was! #biketooter

New video! I'm taking a look inside my very inexpensive EPROM eraser and I'm making some modifications.

Screening today, one third complete. Though this cheap screen does not intend to be repaired the vibrator is great at cutting through the tiny nails that hold the frame in place. Screws replace them for easier future repairs.

@teruterubozu thinks I should get a calligraphy brush next, lol. She's just jealous of my zen like intentionality repairs.

#repaircafe today and some #easter eggcitement

I fixed an egg incubator machine today which wasn’t rotating the eggs properly. That’s a new one for me!
There was an issue with the motor - it wasn’t connecting to the teeth on the plate underneath that slowly rolls the eggs slowly around.

Easy #repair - happy customer and happy chicks !

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma. She's the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.

“I wanted to do more than just write about it,” Postma says. “More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society and are ready for change. [They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.”

EIn Kurzschluss in einem Kondensator lokalisiert mit einer Smartphone-Wärmebildkamera. Fehlerbild: Eine smarte Sonnenaufgangssimulationslampe leuchtet nicht mehr. Netzteil angeschlossen und den Hotspot direkt gefunden. Ausgelötet, geht wieder. Zur Sicherheit haben wir dann einen neuen SMD Kondensator eingelötet. 1 cent Ersatzteil :-)

Huomasin et heilan olkalaukku oli taas kulunut ja paikkauksen tarpeessa.

Heila sit kysyi että kannattaako sitä paikata jos se on kohta taas rikki.

Se on väärä kysymys, oikea kysymys on; onko se hyvä laukku? käytätkö sitä? haluatko jatkossakin käyttää sitä?

Jos vastaus kyllä niin kannattaa paikata vaikka joutuisi myöhemmin paikkaamaan lisää. #reuse #reduce #repair

Anyone?

My DS needs a replacement for the touchscreen. It's worn in one spot and it got worse. Any recommendations for repair places in Tokyo? (Specific shops or repair people please, not just "go to Akiba")

What would be the best way to fix this issue on one of your screwdrivers?

New video! The pump in my ZD-915 desoldering station stopped working! Let's investigate and try to fix it!

Ho un vecchio #Kobo Nia, il pulsante di accensione si è auto-distrutto. L'ho smontato ma non capisco come potesse funzionare il pulsante, idee?

Just had the loveliest experience while getting my watch strap resized at Silver Phoenix in Bray. They’re a tiny, independent two-person jewellers – Jolita and Martin – and they took such care (Martin resized it three times and did a micro-adjustment and then undid it until we found the perfect fit).

In a world of faceless corporations you forget sometimes how lovely people can be.

So if you’re looking for jewellery, a watch, wallet or pen (or repairs/sizing/etc.), give them a shout and support a tiny local business that’s been going for five years now.

Das hätte ich jetzt nicht erwartet, das es heutzutage noch eine Firma gibt, welche bei Bildröhren das Kathodensystem erneuert. Und dann auch noch aus Deutschland. Respekt! #bildröhre #PictureTube #television #reparatur #repair #restoration
