whilst quality and size grading 20k 3" Koi this morning from 05:30 :-\ I had a thought regarding bits and bobs and jobs moving forward when I get home and how to get things prepped/ordered in, ready to hit the ground running etc.
I looked at the state of the points before I left as a bit of torture. After a short intake of breath and a swear I decided that after all this work on the bloody thing, the least I should do is make sure that with all the new electrical items being fitted to the bike, as it never had a loom when I bought it; I should at least replace the grotty points and condensers as a matter of course. The surfaces are very pitted and a gorilla has already been in there with a blacksmith file more commoly used for shaving horses teeth I think, by the look of them and theyre pretty much shagged out.
A surrupticious sneeky peek at the internet at break shows various suppliers, costs and availabilities. Any thoughts?
I reckon this is going to be a close thing to Mick's Lazarus, taking the trophy for being Triggers Broom!
I remember reading on here about the dubius quality of condensers and the mine field that is of what's available. I also remember reading that some had some right hassles and I'm keen to avoid hunting for issues so could anyone remember the best source of the condensors as well as the points or is it going to be another cheque to DSS?
He sells various options and as I'm this deep into it sod the cost, do I go for the genuine ones or plump for the aftermarket ones? (wince) :o
It might be that the condensors are ok and will clean up/ test OK but they are in a shocking state and being 40+ years old I feel that its worth the cost, I'm never going to sell this one, it's a keeper so feel its justified. Whats the general consensus on these without blowing my head off with technical data, I cant handle it after all these fish, and only another 120k to go before next week.
:-\
I don't even like Koi ;D ;D
Nurse Julie:
Opt for genuine/original if you can Roo.
Laverdaroo:
Kinda thought so but folk find cheaper alternatives that sometimes work better than original and remembering how much time was spent on the subject I thought it best to ask.
Thanks mate ;) :)
