Thanks Ibrahim.

Good advice, especillay considering the poor quality of design and manufacture in the first place. I suppose you couldn't 3D print a replacement?

@ No 3d modelling skills and no 3d printer ☹️ Sought out your video to see if the on/off switch you fitted would work with the Quartz Thero. I think it might.

@@augnkn93043 there are two small microswitches on my model that are operated by cams on the back of the rotating 'power' control - one for low pump speed and one for high. Can you send me a photo of your switches to john@steamhead.co.uk

I seem to remember I got several parts from here: www.showerdoc.com/aqualisa-aquastream-thermostatic-post-2003-shower-spares?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwj4K5BhDYARIsAD1Ly2p6qc1S9YhTHf-GmxNwMAjkvZ9-AhFdqmsihrmxkAFCMGOE_8yfLT4aAs42EALw_wcB I managed to replace the pump, motor, the switches and the control knob without having to remove it from the wall. Everything could be dissassembled and replaced whilst in situ.

Thank you most kindly!

It's very kind of you to suggest my dulcet tones can be improved through the implementation of a good quality speaker! You can't beat a squeaky door to warn of an approaching dog...

Thank you kindly!

Thank you. I haven't heard any ground noise, although the sound effects board samples at 8KHz, so does sound a bit 'wooly'.

@@steamhead OK. Sorry, I thought I could hear noise on the audio at 4:30.

@@epiendless1128 I've checked, and realised it may have been the noise created by me scratching the magnet holder against the wood as I hadn't yet fixed it to the shaft...

That's a brilliant idea - no tangling and you can go through them easily! Thank you.

Thanks very much for your encouragement, it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks David - a setback presents an opportunity, or some annoying saying!

Sadly I've ended up with five; I just can't bear to throw any away - they represent the history of connecting things - SCART, UHF TV, Phono audio, DIN audio... the list goes on.

I'm so glad to have another interested viewer!

or a magnet to hold it in place.

I did wonder about adding something like this, but thought that the kids would want to read the legend, so would line it up properly! I'll see what Ben thinks.

An astute observation. I often wonder whether to leave a video camera on the container just to see exactly what goes on! The thing is, if you wanted them to intertwine in such complex ways, they wouldn't...

Thank you so much for your continued support of the channel!

Thank you Marwan. Your thoughts and kind words mean so much.

Thank you kindly George. Perhaps 2025 will be the year?!

Thank you Ibrahim. I'm so glad I made it, as its regular text reports on Mum's activity over the last year were very reassuring to my sister and I.

​@@steamheadi searched your videos again but couldnt find the video. was it inside another project video?

@@ibrahimkocaalioglu I've just found it: ruclips.net/video/xVR9ccgBjng/видео.html. Thanks for your interest.

Thank you Ibrahim.

Thank you so much David.

Thank you so much. It is a very difficult time, but the support I've received from my RUclips followers is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much Tom, you've said exactly the right things!

Thank you Woffy. Family, friends and RUclips followers have been really supportive. Ziggy continues to provide unconditional love. Lots of love to Banjo & Cooper.

@@steamhead John, grieving is made more difficult with every box we open or pack as memories jump in our heads usually at a time when we just need a quite moment. All I can say is take things at your pace and share your thoughts with Ziggy your companion and councillor, she is a good listener like Banjo was for me. I have not been about for a month or so as my mind has been elsewhere trying to come to terms with loosing Banjo my dear English Pointer , companion and confidant for 12 years 8 months and 16 day's. I think this is the first mention and I know those who only have a Dog in their life will know what I feel. I new last spring something was amiss and three months ago it was confirmed. He had the the very best veterinaries but the diagnosis unfortunately was that he was not going to win and the options would have only bought him a few months and I did not want to put him through that or see him struggle. His chums were not told as I didn't want him to sense anything was off. We visited his friends and his favourite walks having a wonderful time and he was probably getting fed up of hearing me prattling on about our lives together. His last moment was eating squeezy cheese with his companions Cooper and IndI who are with me now. Thinking about those 12 years I realise how much time has been wasted on unimportant things so to distract my mind i have pushed forward some refurbishment of the basement so that everything can have it place and hopefully not every place having a thing. I understand you are constructing a new workshop I hope you can find space at the end of the project . I promised Banjo I would build him a Dog house but less important thing put that on hold and I never got to do it, well hidden at the end of the garden is 'Banjo's House' measuring 24' x 12' with etched glass double panel doors salvaged from the 'Lodge' a few doors down, sash windows from the attic and a log burner. I will invite all his chums for the grand opening in the spring. John my thoughts are with you and I would like to join others in thanking you for giving your tribe members fun moments of distraction and sharing the Joy and positivity only 'Steamhead' can bring to such endeavours. Your videos have been a wonderful distraction from the harsh realities of this rather complex life we seem to have created. Once again my condolences to you and your family very best wishes to Ziggy and you from Banjo's squad ...........

Thank you Paul. With the support of my family and my wonderful RUclips followers, I hope to get back on track soon!

Thank you kindly.

Thank you Chris.

Thanks Ric, I'm sure she has.

Thank you John.

What's a Zoltar machine?

Thank you for your thoughts. I thought I was prepared, but apparently not! I hope your mom has many good years ahead of her. I'm lucky to have so much time to spend on my endeavours having left the teaching profession 12 years ago. I didn't want to go, but UK politics finally pushed me out! I'm so pleased you enjoy my videos.

Thank you Neil - difficult times.

Thank you kindly!

Thank you kindly! I continue to appreciate your positive and encouraging comments.

Thanks very much for visiting! It really is enjoyable working on Ben's design as it's for such a good cause. The kids should really enjoy travelling back in time!

Thankfully it's designed to fit onto a lovely 1950s wooden radio cabinet which will have plasma balls, a nixie tube clock and smoke generators, so this shouldn't be an issue!

Thank you John, I'm so pleased to know I'm managing to inspire other creative people!

I'm so pleased to have brought back fond memories! You never forget a good teacher...

That reminds me of a joke: When asked how old a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil was, the museum attendant said '80 million years, 6 months, 4 days and 3 hours'. When asked how they could be so precise, they replied 'It was 80 million years old when I started working here, and I've been here for 6 months, 4 days and 3 hours'...

@@steamhead Haha. Or, Two whales swimming in the middle of the pacific. Nothing but sea in every direction. One says to the other.." Is today Tuesday"?

@@mrwoodandmrtin talking of whales... How do you get two whales in a mini? (not so good written down)

Thank you for suggesting edge lit acrylic. I too appreciate its potential and used it whilst making the Tardis Time Control Lever: ruclips.net/video/h3IJz8uASmI/видео.html. I understand the dinosaur time travelling machine will be employed in brightly lit classrooms, so possibly not suitable for this project...

or use an encoder

@@TheUnofficialMaker Thank you. I did consider using an encoder, but the 'controller' needs to know their position upon startup - possibly a reed switch!

I'd prefer to use Hall Effect Sensors, but I've found them to be far more expensive than reed switches - I've just bought 20 reed switches for £6.50. Please do let me know if you've found a cheaper source of Hall Effect Sensors!

Thank you kindly! It's so nice to work on something that will inspire so many children with an interest in paleontology

That's a great idea! My table saw has been relegated to living under a lean to in the side passage outside the workshop - very limited room inside... I hadn't realised its potential to be a router table, what a brilliant idea. Thank you.

Thanks David!

I have been thinking about it, as any additional funds would be greatly appreciated and would prompt more regular videos! Having said that, I haven't got as far as finding out what's involved or what extra work it would mean... Have you any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just checked and sadly they don't sell Plastikote paint. However, whilst on my search for some fast drying silver paint, I popped into a local family run paint shop and they were happy to order me 12 cans of brass for a reasonable price. It's so nice to actually talk to a real person rather than buying online!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your continued encouragement Marwan. Well spotted/heard at 25:08, it's actually the Barometric Prognosticator playing its hourly weather tune on the flute and bell!

Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words.

Thank you so much for your encouragement, it's really inspiring. Two weeks to get over the two week holiday, but hopefully normal service has now resumed! Weathering is an interesting idea. I've always tended to shy (run) away from it, I suppose due to my engineering background. I must give it a go sometime, perhaps with the steampunk picture frames I used to make. They took ages to sell and I think may be far more popular if they were weathered. Thankfully Dan's design shows it as being immaculate!
