    NIce fixess again.
    With the drumcomputer you can actually use DC power on the AC input. The rectifier just rectifies again.
    You can remove the diodes ofcourse the prevent any power drop. DC power bricks are easier to get a hold on nowadays.

    To remove the gear from the motor shaft, a bit of heat to ease the Loctite should have worked if that's what they used. Same would apply if it was a press fit gear. When turning it backwards? is sounded as though the brushes were being tortured by the commutator. But it works again, so a great result 👍

      Where else besides the UK do they use fused plugs? I don't recall ever seeing them anywhere but there.

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  11 месяцев назад +1

      A quick google search says Only the UK, and other countries rely on the consumer unit. The maximum fuse in a plug is 13A and often on a 32A beaker in the consumer unit and wired as a ring main with other outlets. I guess if the cable was rated at a couple of amps as in a lamp for instance and it got damaged, the fuse in the plug would blow instead of sending 32A down a cable rated for couple of amps.

    • @inothome
      @inothome 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@BuyitFixit Yeah, maybe remnants of times past with fuses in the CSU and the prevent blowing the whole circuit? Cheaper to replace a device fuse than the ring main, maybe.... Now with breakers just an old regulation. Not a bad idea by any means though to have the devices fused.
      In US you can have 25A branch circuits and devices you plug in can have #18 AWG (1mm or so) and you never hear of things melting down. Here in Vietnam, same thing up to 32A, but way more electrical scaries here! No grounds / earth. TT system, not a TN-C (or C-S). So of course, no PME either. But, has it's advantages too, less fault current, but that can also cause breakers not to trip. Pros and cons to all systems. RCDs are becoming more widespread now here too. No regulation as far as I know, but I do recommend and install a lot of them. The price difference for an RCD here VS RCD (GFI) in the US is crazy. $10 USD here vs $100+ USD in the US. From same manufacturer too!

    Always nice to see stuff brought back to life. I think in some cases you can use DC instead of AC if the unit does have a rectifier.
    The voltages may be a little lower using a DC psu, also some items may need both negative and posative voltages so they may not work either.

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  11 месяцев назад +1

      I'm not sure if this uses the AC to create a negative supply for the op amps.

    • @simontay4851
      @simontay4851 11 месяцев назад +2

  • @jyzoomer
    @jyzoomer 6 месяцев назад +1

    hey thanks for all your vids.. love to see a genius at work.. With the drum machine there's the 9V AC input power supply. How does the power section on the main board work to provide dc with two diodes which impiles full wave rectifier .. but you need centre tapped AC for that. There are two diodes... so does that mean the ac is halfwave rectified for two rails? and the AC- is that used as is within the drum machine? If not you could use a dc mains adapter - the dc would just sail through the rectifier diodes and all would be well. Maybe opamps and DAC's require the AC rails..but they then need the 'middle' 0V don't they? Sorry questions and no answers.

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  6 месяцев назад

      I think I found someone else working on one on RUclips and there were some negative voltages required for the op-amps or it might have been the DAC. I assumed that's why they had the AC input. Hope that helps.

  • @jansmit4628
    @jansmit4628 11 месяцев назад +1

    Did you replaced the motor wires in the same order? If not, it could run backwards which you would not notice as the saw connection moves only up and down, but the interal mechanism could not like it and wear down more early.

    • @BuyitFixit

      Yes, both motors had a red dot on the terminals marking the polarity 👍

  • @NicksStuff

    Isn't the drum machine rectifying the AC anyway? So you could use a 9V DC power supply with it

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, but I'm pretty sure it's rectified by the two diodes inside into a split supply so you end up with positive and negative voltages for the DAC and op amps.

    • @BuyitFixit

    Not sure if you are aware, you can put a dc current into an account circuit if it uses a bridge rectifier. But not actually into a dc circuit.

      @BuyitFixit  11 месяцев назад

      Yes, but somethings still don't work. For instance I've got a 24v AC PLC and a 12v DC one. Both very similar. The AC one wouldn't work on DC. Also some of the chips in the drum machine use a negative voltage which I think is why they used an AC adapter.

    By placing a 3A fuse in the plug while having a 3A fuse in the box, you created a race condition. Having a 4A or 5A fuse in the plug, that one would blow only if the internal one fales to do its job. As far as I understood, many plugs have standard even a very overrated 16A in the plug.

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  11 месяцев назад

      I even think 3A is probably too much for this device. 3A x 240V =720W. I mean you used to get 700w microwave ovens and unless this thing cooks the victim from the inside out? 😂😂😂😂

    • @jansmit4628
      @jansmit4628 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@BuyitFixit What I did mean to say that if in case of a short on the board, now one of the two 3A fuses will blow, but you can not predict which one. So having a higher amp value in the plug will lead to blowing the internal one which one would inspect most likely first. And yes 3A is very overrated for this machine unless it has a high rush in current.

    You could use any (9 x sqr 2)12Vdc/enough amps adapter as the rectifier bridge on the board will take care of the right polarity on the system. The only fail could be when the system makes use of the 50Hz for one or the other clock or synchronisation.

    For fine stranded conductors class 5 and above for use with screw terminals bootlace ferrules should be used to no only protect the conductors from the screw but also to ensure a good electrical connection as the conductors will splay out under the screw causing only partial contact with the conductor reducing the current carrying capacity.
    As the plug was non compliant I would be that the conductors used in the flex are copper coated aluminium so I would be checking if it is capable of carrying the current the load requires.

    I love your content. One issue is the echo in your recordings. Could you try to remove the room echo? A better microphone setup maybe?

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  11 месяцев назад +2

      Is that in the workshop bit? I was using a different camera which unfortunately doesn't have external microphone input, and it's a shed made out of metal sheets so it does echo a bit in there. The other parts should be fine as I've got an external Rode microphone (I did a video on repairing 2 of them a few videos back).

    🐨This device should more than likely draw well under 500 milliamps when operating properly,
    NOW... See that transformer @4:19, Well that suckers primary winding should burnout at
    around about an amp, 2 amps tops if it's maximum and I stress it's maximum current draw is
    exceeded.
    Having said that, this would make any fuse greater than 1.5 amps redundant so I suspect some
    hack couldn't get their mitz on a properly rated fuse and therefore that massive 3 Amp fuse was
    installed, and as a comparison my 250Wrms Subwoofer uses a 5 Amp fuse at 240V.
    BTW there is a formula to calculate the transformers specifications if the various voltages
    and nominal current draw is known if one wishes to protect the supply transformer without it
    burning out the fuse prematurely.

      Agree I was just chatting to someone else earlier in the comments who suggested putting a larger fuse in the plug than the one in the unit, but even 3a when I worked it out would 720w at 240v. Perhaps it's more of a microwave device that cooks the victim from the inside 😂😂😂 but serious I can't see it drawing much at all. I think a 1A fuse would be more than adequate.

The practice was to change the battery if below 3.1 v, and reset the cmos memory, and this fixed 90% of the weird errors. The battery may not be flat, but the rest of the circuits may not be happy with a low voltage…

    Yes you have to be careful with the CE mark. That was a fake but in China they have their own registered CE mark where the E is embedded into the C, it looks similar but does not register as European conformity

    How nice to see another dangerous and completely illegal chinese plug on that Ultrasonic unit! Is the CE label "Conformity European" (in French!) and tested or China Export which isn't? I would suspect the lead is very thin copper plated aluminium too so I'd change that. In addition it should be three core (earthed) as the transformer bolts are contactable and I would be 90% sure that the insulation will not conform to double earthing requirements. Basically electrically unsafe!
