Hi Herman, quick question, is the tartaric and citric acid at the local supermarkets sold in powder form (sachets) ?

Thanks Trompie67, reminded me I've got to get my Pfizer booster at Clicks next week!

^^^^^ :thinking:  Never thought about vinegar, Eric. I'm going to soak the whole insert (brass) for a couple days and see what happens, nothing to lose.

Hi Chris. If you look at he photo, the whole brass insert that screws into the body of the tap has ceased up and cannot be turned easily (open or close) I've tried before to apply lubricant and free them, but have never really been successful. I'm in PE, so I guess I'll just  take the faulty...

Looking to see where  I can find replacement for old cobra tap replacement inset. The one in photo is for a bathroom wash basin, but I actually need one for the bath. The bath tap insert has a larger diameter, guess about 30mm. There was a discussion on the forum about these, but a long time...

Unlike the Hubble that was in earth orbit that could be maintained and hardware updated from the shuttle missions, this telescope is going to be stationed 1.5 million Km. away, way beyond the Moon's orbit. If any thing serious breaks, that's it. There's nothing that can be used as a manned...

New Korean Sci-Fi series " The Silent Sea". Looks good, is dubbed.

Exactly like marantz123 says above. NOS or reproduction cloth will cost more than the value of the radio! Below some I've had to use, the last photo of a Philco was manufactured in 1929 and the grill cloth is still perfect.

What a wonderful musician, " What a wonderful world" ! It's hard to believe that in the late 50's,  the likes of Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Sammy Davis Jr.  would perform to packed audiences at Vegas, but due to segregation, were not allowed to stay at the casino hotels were they performed!

Reckon that the new Matrix is Nr.2, after Tenet, on my biggest rubbish list.

Enjoyed first season of the Sci-Fi series "Invasion". The series has been renewed for a second season. I will definitely be watching it. Sci-Fi addicts should enjoy this.

and the end of snap, crackle, pop.

Once had a marble table that was also stained. Unfortunately, could not remove the stain. I could see on the edge of table that the stain had penetrated a couple mm. into the marble. Possibly some types of marble are softer.  :nfi:

Not sure, but don't the big dark ones also fly? Can easly come in via an open window. I may be thinking of a different type.

I expect there's no problem with the Skyworth. I have a 40" in the kitchen, but being android, it seems to take ages to boot up! My normal LG and Hisense switch on so much quicker.

Just a heads-up, the Ellies cube as shown by fdlsys is available for R1299-00 at Pick n Pay Hypermarket

What do the forum's experts thinking of using a Growatt 3kW. 48 volt inverter paired with a  PylonTech lithium 2.4kW battery? I would like to play around with a system for load shedding and as a learning curve. Would like to start as grid mains only for battery charging and later using PV as...

^^^^^^ Should really move this to TV thread, but there is another new apple TV+ series called "invasion". I'm enjoying it, but then I'm addicted to sci-fi! I think you should read up on it first, the critics have not been to kind.

OK, so had a burst of energy and decided to climb into the dark recesses of the garages rafters again. Unearthed an old telecoms unit that I must have squirreled away at least 30years ago! As below, it's a Morse-inker that used ink to  print dot/dashes onto a paper tape. The whole instrument is...
