not vibrations but good verbrations , whatever that is
What an overpriced heap of junk. On pulling off this rubbery plastic film
one of the SM caps came off with it. The film is not stuck to the components
with any force, a needle under it and it lifts quite easily off pcb etc
except where its lodged between IC pins. The SM C&R near the main chip that
I had wire brushed were firm enough. Poor PbF solder under pin 22 was the
main problem but what else lurks under the rest of the black stuff I've not
touched?
Standard die cast box with no bumpons under to stop it sliding, no separate
battery housing so you have to fully open up to replace battery . The power
socket loose and no 1/2 inch 25 TPI bush nut available this side of the
pond, to rob off something, to replace it, maker had hand filed out hole in
the box to receive the socket (because of flats). Looks as though I'll have
to continue the spirit of bodge, with hotmelt glue inside to keep this
socket in place.
