bloody rain

typical.

 

Shut up you moaning old twat and tell me what happened about the court case.

 

There's always tomorrow.

Anyway.. you could always tell me how to get at the pots on a Marshall 8080
so I can squirt them with contact cleaner[1]

[1] ok, ok.. so it says Carb Cleaner on the can but it's the same stuff.

 

What's one of them then?

 

Where ?

Cane let forth with a mighty belch and uttered :

Nowt wrong with riding in the rain.

There is the long and complicated way, or there is the quick way.[1]

The quick way involves removing the tray of gubbins, getting a straw from a
can of WD40 and an old towel.

Bend about 4mm of the end of the straw through 45degrees, turn the tray
upside down and hold it over the towel, you can now drizzle cleaner in to
the pots.

The complicated way involves removing the knobs from the front, unscrewing
the retaining collars, removing the PCB and holding it upside down over a
towel etc.

[1]Assuming the 8080 is similar inside to the MG30

 

I got caught in hail on the way back from my ride out - in summer
leathers, too.

 

Feck me... i got one of them in the cupboard! Haven't used it in years
(old 8080 valve state, looks slightly diff to your jpg). Also got the
dirty pot problem too. When i bought it the bloke in the shop said just
pull the knobs off, then spraw the pot cleaner stuff around the metal
knob thing thats left. He did it in the shop in front of me but it made
frig all difference to be honest. Maybe you could try it see how you
get on.

You got a les paul style guitar to plug into it? Sounds lovely with one
of them.

 

...and it worked too. Ta.

No, a Strat.

 

3 points, twice, but only one to go on licence, but none to go on my
licence, because it's a N.Ireland one, and they can't put points on
it.

However, 450 quid fine + 75 quid costs.

it's only money.

 

well, not in general, no.

Specifically, on a CBR929-RR1, with "notoriously notchy fuel injection
at low revs"[1] with Metzeler Rennsport Race tyres on, it's not the
best, though.


[1] something I've never actually noticed, but all the non-Honda
owners say it's there.

 

I got caught in an almighty fucking downpour, with just jeans and
trainers on - had my Dainese waterproof jacket on, so wasn't all
bad...

 

indeed - if it's mostly dry, I'll rock up to Harlow on the bike...

 

NE London, SW Essex.

 

Don't forget I've got so stuff for you.

 

Ahh, bloody southerners moaning about a bit of poor weather again

 

The message <>

You're lucky. Snowing here.

 

Hmm... they definitely smell different.

I'd be really cautious about letting WD40 near electronic equipment;
particularly any with those variable capacitance things (it's been so
long since I've been involved with components I've forgotten what they
are called). Introducing WD40 into the airgap between the plates
changes the capacitance and makes these trimming devices range move
drastically; potentially detuning any circuits they were meant to tune
(more relevant to RF I guess than amps).

 

Monz apparantly had an 'interesting ride' over the Pennines. Horizontal
sleet was one of the things he mentioned....
