A little unclear so to verify

If the RAM is greater than 4Gb then it is only 64-bit .... If the RAM is under 4Gb then you can use 32-bit or 64-bit. (Although in 32-bit mode you will usually only see about 3.5Gb)

<Quote> The low cost dimmers from Hong Kong can handle 2KW, cost about £1.18, I have a simple modification which adds a little piggy back board to give feedback. <Quote>

Can you post a link to the 'Hong Kong' Dimmer that you based your design on?

Dave

When you select print, a box should be displayed in Windows where you have to select which printer you want to use.

Highlight the printer, you should see a button just below or to the right of the printer list that says PREFERENCES, click this then another box should appear, in this select the Print/Quality tab (This may vary for different printers). Under this you should see the paper size being used ... This should be A4 Portrait. You can check all the other tabs as well to ensure it is all A4 and 100% magnification/full size.

Dave

I assume you mean the ME/MEW Archive from the ME Web Site.

I have just printed a random page from the latest ME and it printed A4 with no issues.

Have you changed your printer settings to print A5 by any chance?

Ian,

Yup I am getting the same. (Windows 7 - 64-bit + Internet Explorer v11)

Dave

Just noticed that the archive version of ME has appeared (20:00 Thursday)

Thank You

Dave

Mine has not arrive yet ... and the digital archive copy is not available yet either.

But it was available on PocketMags last Friday/Saturday

Dave

If this is who I think it is .... they are the company who got eBay to cancel every listing that contained the word <their well known lathe> .... even the genuine items.

I have refused to deal with them ever since!

Dave

I assume that you knew what the postage was before purchasing the item(s). So I think it was unfair of you to leave negative feedback. (Also when the goods arrive, did you see what the actual postage was? - Some people blame the seller but in reality it is the Royal Mail who are to blame for their excessive charges)

I would have contacted the seller prior to purchase to clarify the delivery cost.

Dave

Martyn,

Just to comment on 1 of your points .... Just because something comes in a 'Amazon' box/envelope does not mean it has come from Amazon. I reuse/recycle Amazon boxes and envelopes, so the contents could be anything or from anyone.

If anything arrives damaged, I photograph it and make a claim against the sender. (Who then no doubt claims from the carrier.)

Hi Steve,

What tablet are you trying to use? Also how are you trying to view the archive? (Browser or app)

Dave

Hi,

The GLR boiler articles published in ME would make a good read for you .

You can purchase a copy of the articles here as a pdf download - **LINK** (If you do buy this, check it has all pages, mine had a few missing which they emailed to me - hope error is corrected)

If needed you can also buy the kit from GLR. **LINK** (I suspect postage would be expensive to the US)

Dave

Martin,

Is the gas valve on the top of the gas tank and pointing vertically upwards?

When filling the tank the cylinder you are filling from must be vertical and upside down (Filler at bottom)

Dave

I think this is normal, I pay by Direct Debit ... with about a month to renewal date I get the warning that my subs are about to expire .... this counts down to a few days before the renewal date, then the payment is taken from my account and the message disappears.

Dave

Take a look here **LINK**

They have supplied me with back issues in the past. (I have no connection with them, just a happy customer)

Dave

Brian,

Did Diane get back to you on this?

Dave

No problems here .... did you tick the "Remember Me" box

Because on a Multi-Page post it will always take you to the first post on the first page .... whereas the list on the right hand side of the screen takes you to the last page.

I don't think is was the 'Show Ground' people pricing themselves out ..... I don't think the hall was available this year due to major redevelopments on the site. *They will be opening a new refurbished 'Hall 1' at some point ..... then I suspect the prices will go up or impose restrictions on what people can do.

Dave

From discussions on the Sweet-Pea Yahoo group its the 20/21/22 May 2016 ... but it is at DONCASTER Racecourse and not in Harrogate
