I can't wait to see the progress of this handsome bird.


(I had no idea what I was looking at, just knew it was pretty, and sleek looking. Needed to go to the cheat sheet)

Been working on this 52 inch Toshiba Regza TV that I bought in 2009, worked fantastic until a few weeks ago, won't turn on at all. I traced the non power issue to a resistor on the power board. Anyone know a good source for electrical components? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b91c487bcd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...de12ba2242.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ab611cecd4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0bf85e982e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...11bc8af5c3.jpg

Not fixing, but mounting a diesel heater on the outside of garage in some cabinets. Just waiting on an adapter, and the final J-shaped intake section of ducting can be installed.

I will probably wrap all the ducts in insulation to retain as much heat as possible.

A few months ago we had a tire on my daughter's car that had a slow leak, turns out it was a nail and the tire was repaired. Over the past couple of months I've been monitoring it as it seemed to still leak down but it would take quite a long time. I thought maybe it was due to the temperature changes or that it needed to be looked at again. Today I put some air in the tire and decided to put a little dish soap on the valve stem just for kicks and, low and behold the thing started blowing bubbles, lol. So, I got out my trusty valve stem wrench, (had it for years when the kids were little and we had bicycles, yet never used it), and tightened up the valve stem, yep, it was a bit loose. Now no more bubbles. Yay!!!

Note, in one pic you see bubbles in the soap but that was from squirting the soap out of the bottle, it isn't leaking anymore. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d004a233ea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4c0663b5fd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...394c7508cd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...551e1daa45.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c39ef45c49.jpg

Thanks for sharing, Marty. Good job! Nice reminder for us all to never look past the basics when trouble shooting!

I finally started working on my floor. It turns out pulling up the planks without damaging them is a huge PITA.
(I'm hoping this ends without breaking any fingernails.) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1706567057.jpg

Thank you, I do believe luck will be 90% of my success.

I finally uncovered the problem area. Its apparent one corner of the sub floor under all that crap sits a bit lower.
{edit}I figured it out. There was a wall there at some point.{/edit}
I'm also presuming the old floor was left because it's asbestos. The sheeting on it is glued down tight, so I'm leaving it.

Good news is everything is rock solid. I just need to figure out what to use to level the spot out.

Long day... managed to get the right side of the javelin roughed in. As well as primed wing tips, grill shell and scoop.
