BA11-F boxer muffin fan source ?

Quothe Tony Duell, from writings of Fri, Jun 20, 2003 at 10:12:28PM +0100: Yes... in a case like that, buying a new one makes much more sense, and then save the old ones for spare parts, or, for later repair in case the fans turn into unobtanium. Of course I don't! You're the one who told me how to rebuild the fans in my 11/44. :-) [grouch mode on] I was just griping about the throw-away society in which we live... "it's old and broken, so toss it out and buy new" or "he's old and not functioning properly, so dispose of him by tossing him into a nursing home," etc. It makes no sense and doesn't say much good about humanity. [grouch mode off] Just the other day, I repaired a Westclox alarm clock... the "real" type of clock with hands and a dial, not one of those blasted digital display annoyances. A very simple repair, actually, which involved replacing the neon lamp which illuminates the dial. Granted, the clock cost under US$10 IIRC, but I still think that this repair was more sensible than replacing the clock. Interestingly, I learned something interesting about failing neon lamps. The failing lamp would light in the daylight, but flicker dimly in the dark. I never realized before that neon lamps were light-sensitive. Can anyone explain this? -- Copyright (C) 2003 R. D.
