20 seconds and couldn't stand that song anymore.

Is his name Maz??

^^^ Yes I did the same. But there are times when a DA is better. You dont know how much paint is on the car to correct, therefore your more likely to burn through with a Rotary. Your also assuming most people are like me and you and have a bit of common sense (no dis-respect to the OP!!) :)

Nope thats a rotary...get a DA if your a noob at this.

They look very similar to Menz pads.

Yip or the people in my town that switch over to virgin to get "Fibre". Then when I say your speed wont change as no-where round here has fibre to the cab they say im wrong. They get Virgin and then moan that the speed is the same. Told you so. :)

Good job you went for a DA in the end :) Now you need some better pads and polish.

Altera Max..nice :)

It did drop one yes..it actually hit the roof of the rack it was in, seemed to through it up a little too hard.

Yes it might be a "bonus" but a DA is a hell of a lot better overall, for doing/covering most types of paint. In fact on certain soft paint types a DA is what you should use. I shouldn't in theory use my rotary on the EVO paintwork as its soft as you run the risk of burn through.

My post wasn't ment in a harsh way by the way. In my case I seem to get on better with a rotary, I only bought the silverline as it was cheap, it will do want I want it to do (the odd correction on my car, missus and families cars). If I were to buy anothe I'd be going for a makita or something...

That's what the strowger is. They had a single axis type to start then two axis ones mounted in 8 foot racks. I tell you they make a lovely noise when on "full chat" I can imagine that noise back in the day :)

I'd quite like to of been a "proper" line engineer. I hate the telecoms industry now. I deal with some right old monkey installers ;) Telent are the worst. Most of the guys don't even have a simple multimeter! And then stuff -50v into the LAN port of our units and wonder why it literally blows...

Would be a very good starting one too :) ;)

Going to striaght to a rotary is not stupid, but how do I put this politely, you have to have a bit of common sense to use one straight away. I used my DA twice and then sold it, hated it and then bought a rotary but im a fairly sensible-ish person. On the threads you start todd (and I mean no...

Your Jersey Telecom aren't you bully?? I believe some of our kit is used by yourselves. Not much. Switch modules for test access named SMUT-Stars (what a name!!) and I "think" some of our ISMC's are used too?? Was a very small order I think about 2 years ago..might of even been a trial or...

Warm water does indeed help so either a solution of warm water/shampoo (PH neutral type) or as Gally said. Ps im no longer a pauper member :) <----------

It might of been phased out but BT still had them in certain exchanges..they had it all in one of the musuem ones in London (can't remember the name) and one of my bosses bought it all as they didn't want it! God knows why they didn't give it to some type of museum??!! :S So my boss is building...

Take some more photo's and try and see if a model number is on there...im sure I have one of those in the museum here at work. I work in telecoms and our boss has basically bought all the old BT Strowger kit that was the proper old school type of Bt exchanges...they sound awesome when energized :)

Also do you know the model of that?? Some of the older Bell type phones had a seperate bell ringing circuit that required the bell wire to be be pulsed with x amount of volts in order for it to ring (this is a bit before my time in telecoms!!) The Bell wire is now redundent in the modern BT...

Do you know what exchange you are on?? Check here... http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_mapping Put in your postcode and hopefully you should see what one you on. I think your nearish me (Im in Hadleigh) your in Essex somewhere from memory?? And most of our exchanges over this way...

I thought it looked like a gun type. HAven't seen one of them in ages!

What are you using to snow foam?? Is that a Karcher attachment??

Love the work/car by the way :) Im torn between an Fiesta RS or a (dont laugh) Ibiza Turbo at the minute

Yes...bloody noob ;)

The Microchip compiler is s**t correct! We use the IAR compiler for it which is by far the best..the inbuilt one in microchips IDE stuff is crap..costs a small fortune to get licences for IAR too. Its all about "cost" and pics are cheap which keeps costs down for BT and France Telecom :(

PIC18F8722..yeah photo was taken on my 3g Ifail with no focus :o Basically all our kit has relays in we use OMRON and NEC and as far as I am aware we are one of the highest users in Europe. Definitely in the UK, we struggled with the Japan Tsunami to get the relays to meet a massive BT order...

Re: What have you ordered? I have never even heard of wolfs until recently...I remember when Iron-X hit the seen last year (under the brand Cquartz not Car Pro as its known now). http://detailingworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165422 It was actually out around xmas time the previous year...

I could be interested...depending on what it is and how fun it is :)

I design and hand build stuff yes. Although my design theory is not very good. I can be given a schematic and make a PCB in CAD. Its just the theory I struggle on. A lot of my designs are taking existing products and adding ports, relays, connectors etc on so the bulk work of the design is...
