Don't Forget to Check Your Electro Cables
« on: May 12, 2017, 10:37:07 PM »
I went to use the electro and the positive connector clamp fell right off the cable. Even though it has a plastic sheath covering it from solution splash, it managed to oxidize to the point of failure. It sure runs better now that it is fixed.

CHECK YOUR CABLES!

Yup.. Yup...
The menfolk think I am loco with my fetish about 'connections' (you know the Stainless Steel everything to reduce corrosion..:) )

But with Copper, you just CAN'T fall asleep at the wheel! (Says she who is preparing to take Battery Charger #1 to the local electronics wizard for a total refurb... :)  )

And me no likey messing with stripping cables and refurbing connections....  ;D ;D ;D

Cheryl, you never cease to amaze me.  People think I'm unique for collecting cast iron.  Collecting jumper cables?  Now that is unique.
