Do bear in mind I've never received much formal training on this sort of thing. |
Thread: Travelling Microscope Query |
18/07/2023 20:33:06 |
Our friendly courier dropped me a parcel off this morning. Everything appears to work as it should, though a clean and polish will be in order soon, but I have a query regarding focussing, as I'm no expert on microscope/telescope optics. Any thoughts about an easy solution please?

Interesting to note that that the already motorised version is flat belt and the non motorised version is Vee belt!. There must be a reason , supply of belts/pulleys etc. I would suggest that the reason is to keep the portable powered machine as compact as possible. |

Alistair, as well as eBay, consider posting on here first, as there won't be any selling fees, and I suspect most prospective buyers from this site will be genuine. Edited By peak4 on 08/07/2023 21:34:42 |

putting alontoast99 into ebay search engine produces no matches, can you post a proper link. A list of what's for sale would be good, I'm fairly local, but don't want to waste your or my time on a speculative trip You just need to put the name in the right part of the search, but here's the relevant link |

That scooter looks familiar, I think your Dad and I are Facebook friends, though we've never actually met each other. |

Daniel, I'm no expert on this at all; I've bought a toolholder, but not tried to use it yet.

In which plane does it fail to cut square, and does the cut wander part way through? |

Many thanks for all your responses. The bearings I am looking for are indeed the white metal bearings from the electric motor. OD = 20mm, ID = 17mm, Wall = 1.5mm ................I want to see if I can just get the bearings myself, either off the shelf or made to measure, as I can do everything else. If only I had a lathe that worked, I could potentially machine my own Since you could make the bearings yourself, if you had a working motor, here's an offbeat thought, just to get you up and running. |

Tim, if you say where you live approximately, another member may be able to assist. |

Thanks for sharing the helpful links, Bill … Who knows ? … someone here might find them useful tonight ! Your “but” is what I had in mind when I wrote ”may have been somewhat exaggerated” MichaelG. When I was still in gainful employment, back in GPO/BT Strowger days, quite a lot of my time was spent installing and modifying the operator's call suites, mainly 100 & 999 boards, though I did play a bit with 151/2 & 192 services. |

Leave the delrin in the freezer overnight. Drill through it with the 7mm bit tomorrow morning. I would imagine that the problem lies with the leads, rather than the Delrin. |

Thank you everyone The vice is an old record 34 steel and I did wonder about the countersinks as the holes looked a bit odd, been 60 Deg makes a lot more sense According to the website, the 60° angle was used on 34/35/36 vices. |

Recent reports that it is back online may have been somewhat exaggerated: https://www.midweekherald.co.uk/news/national/23612959.issues-999-calls-continue-technical-fault-says-bt/ MichaelG. It seems that the backup system is OK, but there is a loss of functionality of the location aspect, where the caller's location is displayed on the call handler's screen.

It would seem that Record used 5/16" BSC on some vices, as The Viceworks makes them specially , but make sure you pick the correct countersink angle. Edited By peak4 on 25/06/2023 20:00:17 |
