  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Installing a digital tachometer

    I am doubting your issue is power supply, but I do agree that it is best to rule it out first. The battery trial is the best to do, imho. Any lawn tractor batteries around that you could hook some wires from? A 9 volt will run it in theory but at 300 ma, it may drop below a fair assessment...

    A small plastic part

    Paul I do not know the make of this particular one but I don't think it is a TEC3 or 5, nor a Drager vapourizer. Those are probably the ones you are most familiar with, although with a collection as you have, maybe others. Those ones, and the Ohmeda's are the ones I came across most often. (ie...

I believe they are not in a critical function of the operation of the unit, for those concerned about...

    Installing a digital tachometer

    @Dusty I will throw a few things your way. Forgive me if they have been already suggested Look into the tach box and see if you can see any switches or pins. Sometimes the pins are used for configuration by a shorting connector. As @combustable herbage suggested, a battery will provide a...
