Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

So if you can`t lift the job with one hand you pass?

OK bridge crane we have not seen perhaps ??

My back and legs hurt for you.

 

We have an A frame with a manual hoist on it if we have something in the back of a pickup and can get it up the ramp into the building (it's tight though) and we have a pallet jack if something comes in a box truck and backs up to the dock. We could use a forklift at times, we just don't have the room for one.

 

Whittled out a couple locators to get this angle where it needs to be. One down, three to go.

 

Workin' folks

 

You off today? Any snow out your way?

 

No snow, going to Illinois later for some random driving around with a buddy.

 

It was 58 degrees yesterday afternoon. This started around 4 when I got up for work.

 

Where are the HVAC peeps? I have searched all these numbers on this circuit board and can’t find anything that matches. It’s on our Goodman gas pack at the house. Every now and then I have to tap on the black contact, second one down to get the fan to turn off. This isn’t the first board to do this but it’s so old now I’m having trouble finding one.

The man at the local supply house found me one but it’s not a direct replacement and I don’t know enough about wiring to wire it in if I have to start cutting wires.

 

Morning Shane.
Worst case scenario, find someone handy to re-solder a new relay onto the board. I’ve had to do that for my gate opener control board because I’m a cheap SOB. The new board was $170 and a relay was $8.
I didn’t feel comfortable soldering the relay directly to the board, so I bought a relay pigtail with some wire leads and made a jumper harness that made it easier for me to solder the individual wires to the board contact holes.
I hate board integrated relays!

 

It's easy enough with the right tools, first and foremost you need a GOOD soldering iron (I like Weller variable temp units) with an appropriate size tip and a de-soldering pump, or "solder vacuum". The de-soldering pump is the secret; it allows you to get the excess solder off the board and leaves nice, open holes for the new conductors.

The good ole 4 jaw chuck

 

I’m no expert, but I think he’s going to make a triangle out of it.

 

That’s a wrap.
