Burnin' down my BP (how I know there is a god...)
Awl--
I have empirical (probabilistic) proof that there is a god: My life could not *possibly* be *this miserable* by *chance alone*--this **** has GOT to be choreographed somehow... goodgawd.... So I just burntid out the goddamm electronics for the powerfeed on m'BP--a BP powerfeed, in fact, w/ the BP ancient electronics (box on the BP base). How did I do this?? Well, by once again NOT CHECKIN THE FUKN VOLTAGES!!!! Goddammmmmmm....... You'da figgered I'da lernt from burnin down the Fadal, right?? Slow burner, I mean, lerner, apparently. Turns out I had the high wild leg from the rpc connected to the 120 V electronics, and... AND....... some fukn moron put a *25 AMP* g-d fuse in the electronics fuse holder! Goddammm...... Put it all together, and POOF.... All this coulda been avoided, but now it's water under the g-d bridge. Small silver lining to this: I've yet to hook my Kalamazoo automatic cut-off saw, w/ it's own share of electronics, which I now KNOW that I'm going to have to re-wire to avoid a similar problem. What a pita, but forwarned now should avoid more smoke. In general, it really is a pain, taking 208 V New York City stuff, and running it outside of the city on 240 V w/ rotaries. My Qs: Any easy standard fix for this powerfeed? If not, how bout this: The power feed motor is a 90-100 VDC (ackshooly "90 VDC-A and 100 VDC-F", whatever that means), and I just happen to have a bunch of 7 amp variacs and a cupla full wave rectifiers. Could I just put this motor on a kluged variable DC power supply and screw the electronics stuff?? Also, I see a sight glass on the power feed. It's sorta crappy dirty. Any way to clean this? There doesn't seem to be drain for the oil, either. Just crack a bunch of screws? What type oil? TIA. Oh, iny churches one might recommend? I gotta start goin, before I lose the rest of my shop! Ackshooly, the Wife's a Jehovah's Witness--no foolin--but I cain't hack that stuff--too grueling, much too much reading'n'****. Was thinkin of turning Jewish, mebbe picking up a trade or sumpn, mebbe in the Garment Center in NYC--oi, yo. Really dig the Pentecostals--wimmin rolling in the aisles, in Religious Ecstacy (actually having orgasms, no foolin), is right up my alley--really saves a lot of foreplay--but then the Wife would slap the **** out of me... What else? Start my own church? Church of the Damned?? Yeah, g-d Banquer and effing Harold could be apostles or sumpn. ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |
