Count me in.

The bulbs you listed have a lower color rendering index (CRI) than what is optimal. I prefer bulbs over 90 personally.

Thank you Walkers. I’ve been looking at other valve options. The hard part is reworking things in this historic home.

I have a gas log conversion in my fireplace. I have been smelling gas near the fireplace when not in use. I assume the issue is with the valve. Do these valves seal using a lubricant? Or can one of you point me in the right direction for a replacement valve?

That machine is great. Awesome job saving it. I’m sure you already know this but those featherweights have quite the following and are worth some money. You say you got it cheap. Maybe flip it?

Yes the wall doorbell switch does work.

Out of curiosity I typed the patent number into the Google and came up with this. It has nothing to do with getting the opener to operate from a remote but I found it interesting.

I am looking to add a remote to my garage door opener. I know. I should probably just buy a new opener but this one works and I kinda like it. Before you say it I know the safety features would be great but this one is already there and I'm looking for a simple solution. Little back story...

We used full strength ammonia on a paper towel on our wood stove. It took the film right off. I assume it would work equally as well on a film from gas.

That looks like the same servo that I installed on my machine. I also used this pulley from amazon to cut the speed in about half. It has made slow much more controllable. I did have to buy a shorter belt.

Thank you for the help guys. Using stonefans help finding the parts numbers on repair clinic I found the motor I needed on eBay. My preference would have been new but when new is almost $900 and I was able to make an offer that was accepted on a used one for $200 shipped it is hard not to buy...

Searching online there aren't very many results based on plugging "m055pwcpe-0226" into google. Ebay does show a used option for $250 but I would prefer new if possible. Ideas on how to find the correct one if the sticker number doesn't yield very many results? OR Maybe there is an updated part?

Hi guys I am needing a little help with my home furnace. The blower motor has stopped working. The motor doesn't operate on either A/C or heat. I called my usual HVAC guy who came out and said the unit is too complex and we should call a Trane dealer. I called a Trane dealer who came out...

I don't do a lot. Mainly just mend my clothes. Interestingly my wife, then girlfriend looked at me strangely one day when I asked her if she had a sewing machine that I could use. I think she thought that I was going to try and ask her to fix something. I needed to sew the bottom of my...
