--- Quote from: awemawson on February 20, 2019, 08:37:02 AM ---More progress reports: Ian has been concentrating getting the mechanical side of things sorted before going on to the component replacement and re-alignment. --- End quote --- Seem to remember a brand called "Make-a-switch" It had 12 positions on each switch wafer, so you could have 1 x 12, 2 x 6, 3x4, 4x3 combinations plus the mechanical stop plate(to limit movement) , and you could stack up a lot of wafers. Sort of rotary switch Meccano!! I had a lot of them salvaged from old equipment. |

Ian has sent me a couple of updates in the form of .pdf documents which I'll attach one by one due to size limitations .. . . .whoops it seems that they are both too large - I'll see if I can pull bit's out and post them :doh: |
| awemawson:
And the second report |
| awemawson:
Now I have received Ian's third report as a .PDF 8.8 mByte long, but oddly if I save each of the two pages that it consists of using 'PDFCreator' they are each less than 900 kByte - same happened when I did the previous two reports :scratch: |

He probably generated the original using Microsoft Print to PDF - it's notoriously inefficient. |
