    Outside Garage Search Light

    It is a photocell and only comes on at dark. It is attached to my garage 14 feet off the ground. Never had a problem before, except maybe a eye or bulb.

    Outside Garage Search Light

    Search Light is about 30 yrs old. Light comes on for about 15 minutes and goes off, then after a while will come back on. Changed the eye and bulb, but get the same results. Could I have a bad ballast?

    Welder Gage Wire

    It's an old Emerson Made around 1960. I had it in my shop for years small distance from my 100 amp box hooked to a 60 amp breaker. Now that I am moving it further from box just thought I needed something bigger than 10 gage.

    how to wire light switch for 100 watt bulb

    Been 30 yrs since I wired my garage and have forgotten everything I guess. Son wants me to put in a simple 100 watt bulb in his garage over his inside door. I want to run a single 20 amp breaker from the box to the switch to the bulb. The bulb holder is the one with glass made only for one...

    Hydraulic Jack Problem

    I have an older Walker floor jack probable made in the 60ies. I think it is probably 1 1/2 or 2 ton. Had it rebuilt several yrs ago and has worked fine up until recently. It seems that the roller on the handle will not touch the pump that screws into the top of the jack. I have no leaks...

    Garage Door problems

    I have an older Genie garage door opener. It does not want to open or close properly without hitting the up and down switch repeatedly. I noticed that one of the electric eyes is blinking and the other one isn't. Could this be my problem? If so where could a person get a new electric eye?
