Here is a picture pointing out the motor in the middle, and the spindles for both decks.

>rubber band
just, no - if, by some miracle, it started out with appro the right tension, wouldn't retain it very long - just going to slip, break,fall off, whatever.

Proper replacement actually cost you fuck all (literally, $1-$3) - need to know what size you are looking for (service manual for tape deck model if poss to find) or get a pack of various sizes (prob. about $15) ebay, whatever.

>>1015171
I found the service manual online as a $5 download, but hesitated to buy it unless I really need it. The tape deck is probably from the late 80's or early 90's. Even if I can find the manufacturer recommended replacement part, will they still make it 26 years later?

The thing is, I only need this thing to make a handful of tapes. I'm never going to use it for anything except copying music from my mp3 directory to the 5 or 6 blank tapes that I already have. Moreover, I just moved out of state and am still looking for work, so budget is a big concern. If finding the proper replacement part is the only way to do it then I'll get the manual and find a replacement belt that will work, but I was kinda hoping to just jury rig it to work for one night to copy these tapes.

You are too sick to use a plunger so Instead you go to the store and make a thread. Your fucking dumb.

>>1019030
i dont understand, please help or i will soil myself and sleep on my own shit because i dont have any alternative

Odd are it's lye, you don't want to put that in a toilet. It will generate heat and can crack the porcelain, plus there is a splash danger (you think you feel like shit /now/ add in some nice chemical burns).

Plunger or snake is the way to go.

Open the supply line valve.

Trace the incoming water from the main water line.

You probably shouldn't be touching a boiler if you don't know what you're doing.

>vibrating module from old phone

Fuck that OP, get a Hitachi Magic Wand, attach it to a metal stake, ram that stake into the ground (the earth is a dirty slut, she wants it) and shock & awe those little burrowing rodents

Your circuit is notorious for touchiness.
Most of the time it will work but if you change the load usually it will fuck up.
Try simulating it, I have never seen it simulated first time because it relies on imperfections.
An alternative would be a 555 timer circuit.
If you want to learn build both. If you just want your problem solved then don't build either because your plan is insane.
In theory the supply voltage would match whatever motor you used however if it draws too much current you will need a driver like a transistor or something, maybe a relay too at which point the motor voltage can be different

>>1023242
Are these available in anything other than M8 do you know? I could do with 7 and 6 mm also.

Thanks btw.

>>1023244
I'm not sure mate. I only use 8mm / 5/16" .

Maybe email Makita, they'll probably tell you of a dealer close to you.

I have prefab one at home, been using it for the last 10 years, here in east europe they sell them for around $ 40 new, you can melt almost any metal with them, things like bronze are easy peasy and if you want to work with steel etc, still okeish it gets it pink hot, a lot of electricity consumption tho, which gets to the point that you are asking for the gas powered ones, that I have no experience with, but they will work for sure, its up to you to keep the maintenance right and take good care of it.

>>1023019
why wouldn't they, the concept is the same as any other foundry you could make or buy

>>1023050

Thanks, we are talking about thousand degree fires here so I wanted to be sure it was safe.

Good luck soundproofing the gap between the door and the frame which needs to be there so you get enough "fresh" air into the room to sustain life.

>>1022969
look up double leaf problem, soundproof green glue company did a writeup on it

>>1022986

What are you talking about? Gaps on soundproof doors are generally closed by 3 layers of seals on the sides and top, while there is also an integrated seal on the bottom of the door, which only lowers to touch the floor if the door is closed.

That stuff about sustaining life is complete bullcrap. Ever heard of diffusion? Unless you are living in an air baloon, then you are right ofc.

Different companies have different rules. TI actually tightened their rules a while ago because of beggars misused the samples service.

>>1022851
I've ordered samples in the past. They won't ship you anything if you have a Gmail address. They have to believe that you work for a company that is considering incorporating their parts in to your product. If you have a private email address and you say that you are evaluating parts for a new design then they will likely send you 3 of whatever you want. Sometimes they have an online request form (I think Fairchild used to) and sometimes you have to email or call one of their sales reps.

It worked great for me when I was building a coil gun and needed some mosfets that were $7-$10 bucks each, and I only needed 3 of them. Just imply that you are a professional designer and thinking of specifying their parts in your product.

Damn, I was worried about that. Guess I'll just bite the bullet and buy some 2574's. Thanks for the help folks.

half mortise cabinet lock
no special name for the key - it's a key
keys would be difficult to make unless the lock can be disassembled
if lock comes apart you can determine how to cut the key to match

>>1022830
>if lock comes apart

I was hoping not to take them apart. They are riveted (or peened) together and I'm afraid one dissassebly might be the end of the lock.

A few boards have suggested making a flat key blank, sticking it in and wiggling it to get the internal warding (I think it's called) to mark the blank. Problem is: The keys are steel and the locks are brass. So there are not clear marks left.

>>1022846
Paint/color the key blank before wiggling?

I built one that works pretty well. Based it off this http://www.instructables.com/id/OpenVR-Opensource-Rift-for-only-150/

I used his tracking system, 3D printed my own body because I used a slightly larger and higher res screen, got some lenses from my local surplus store (no idea why they carried those), and use Vireio Perception as the software.

Works pretty well actually. The screen door effect isn't too bad, and the tracking is surprisingly responsive and accurate. Im planning to make another one soon, using a very expensive screen from some chinese company, and a whole new headset, because this one is huge and uncomfortable.

Here's a pic of the part I need to cover

Your pictures are horrible. Are you talking about a headliner on the ceiling to pretty up the glass hull?

>>1022773
I'll take better pictures tomorrow, I'm talking about the ceiling itself

>>1022683
Do you honestly need to make thread just because you want to screw something to your door?

> how do I know what to look for when it comes to size?
Use common sense. Look at the door and try to find something that will fit style and size.
> What measurements do I need to take?
measure width to find center of the door. Then knock on the door. The point in which you hit to knock on the door will be your hight.

>>1022683
Holy shit are you retarded

I build houses for a living, so I can help you OP. Replacing a door knocker is one of the hardest remodeling tasks there is. It is harder than replacing a granite counter top, for example. I recommend that you hire a professional and be sure to ask for references that are specific to his ability to replace a door knocker, and don't just call, but visit them to see the proof. If he is for real, he will have photographs and perhaps video of him showing the job from start to finish.

A front door is the most important part of a house. You would not install braces on your children's teeth, would you? Replacing a door knocker is similar to fine dental work. Hire a pro, and even if it costs upwards of $300 you will be glad in the long run.

heat shrinks cotton and some other fabrics

wash them in cold water, then hang them up to dry, or dry in dryer until still damp and hang up to finish drying. You could try to reshape and stretch them with a steam iron, but you won't the original shape.

>>1022620
It's the drying, but the real reason is cheap manufacturing. The knit fabric is stretched lengthwise when it is produced on the rollers, and unless the maker preshrinks the fabric before cutting and sewing, it will always shrink lengthwise and get wider. The only remedy is spend more money and go with name brands.
Duluth Trading, for example.

>>1022496
If the pins won't fit in the breadboard, don't force it. Just cut a little bit of lead off of some resistors and solder them to the legs of your component. Then plug it in in whatever orientation you like.
