Mark Anderson,

Thank you again for lending me your boat! Unforetunately I didnt get a chance to race it as I messed up the engine in practice!! :blink:

Your cowl got modified to fit my pipe, and it also melted a bit after I blew a water line!

I also got my boat.

Thanks again!

Nitrocrazed racing: 3 boats at IMPBA and only 1 was mine???

About JR synth recievers. Is this a common problem with the recievers? I just picked up a JR XS3 synth radio with 3 recievers. Kinda worried now. :blink:

 

[Slideblues]

Ian good to hear from you

Timbo, rear spoons, dont need them anyway, extend the ride pads like the SGX, shorten the bejesus outta dat pipe and put a muzzle on tha carb, a mucho mod 1640 on the back and go BOOGIE........ But then what the hell do I know :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gener,

If you have seen some of the S#!t water we race in, you'd rethink the rear sponson thing! As for the prop - VERY HAPPY with Mark Sholund's H4 and H10.

Pipe - that is definately 1 area that needs attention. It's the 1 and only pipe i've tried so far.

Carb - making a full cowl and changing to a different carb.

My building skills - they need attention too! 1st boat I've ever built from a box of wood so i can only improve :lol: :lol: - I was never happy with the build job I did on the sponsons to be honest. Maybe if I ask the designer nicely he might build me a set - he's had a lot more practice! SUBTLE HINT TOM!

Tim.

Hehehehehehhee! Nearly fell off the chair reading that!

You mean I can't glue the boat together with that stuff? You should see me fix a photocopier! No glue required!

Man it's amazing how great minds think alike. I was a copier tech for good bit, fun work for tinkerers

 

[TimD]

Yeah - it's funny how that happens - I know 3 separate guys in the same industry thru the club I race in. What brand Clay?

Hey Tim. I started out with factory training thru Toshiba. I relocated and learned small to mid volume Canons. I've also worked on many small to mid volume sharps, minoltas, ricohs, and mitas, etc... The smaller machines are pretty similar between manufacturers (canon is the oddball, no seperate "developer" used). It's when you get up to 60+ cpm high speed models that the intermittent problems (sorters, duplexers, sensors, clutch timing, board problems, etc.etc.) can kick your butt if you're not familiar with that particular model, regardless of manufacturer. I managed the service department of a relatively small Canon authorized dealership for 2 years before one of the Owners died. The other owner (the dead man's younger brother) offered me a "no-control whatsoever" 49% partnership and I turned it down for various reasons. Before this happened I was already looking for a new career path through a successful businessman that I met when fixing his machines. It was a tough decision, but I'm happy the way it turned out. I still fix the machines when I can. Faxes and laser printers too. It's tough to get parts though without manuals and business accounts, I'm out of the loop for 5 years now. You gotta be a smart cookie in deductive reasoning and mechanical skills to be a good business machine tech for sure.

Good boating B)

Hey Tim.  I started out with factory training thru Toshiba.

Clay,

Any chance you trained with Mr. Jeff Smith?

I work for Toshiba Australia Head Office as a technical product specialist. I do all the fax support for Aus. and New Zealand and I also do the full range of copiers. I'm the guy who escalates stuff to Japan, and trains techs on the new models when they are about to be released!

Our Webpage.

If you ever need any info - LMK.

No more PM's or dev changes for me

Small world huh!

Tim.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

rears? I got to see what parts ive got..... but all my stuff is in other peoples garages for about 2 more weeks

Hey Tim, are those toshiba color models fun to fix?!! Do they still make 4 rotations of the drum to get the full color latent image before transferring? 4 developer units? holy smokes :lol: ahhh the memories. I left Toshiba when they were first coming out with them. A lot of good techs were scratching their heads on those

 

[TimD]

Clay,

The Full colour copiers are a single pass/ 4 drums/4 devs and cleaner units/ single transfer belt type of machine. They are pretty reliable nowdays but when they 1st arrived on the scene :blink: :blink: The early FC22's were released about 5 years ago. Is that the model you were referring to? They have had 3 evolutions since then and are far superior to the earlier models.

The "business colour" machines (3511 and 4511) use a revolver unit for the colour devs, 1 drum, a transfer belt for image building and a 2nd transfer roller. 11ppm colour.

Most of the problems with colour copiers are user interface errors :lol: :lol:
