    GPX4500 Possible Coil Issue?

    Hi AuMan. yep, the mono was very bump sensitive. Must of been one of the bad batches of coils a few years ago. That was an easy fix.

    GPX4500 Possible Coil Issue?

    Hi all, Thanks for the feedback. A bit of trial and error in my future, I'm thinking.

    removing solder from gold

    This is probably a bit late but this is for future reference. DONT USE NITRIC ACID on gold coated items. It will attack the substrate and lift the gold off the item. ie: we use nitric to lift the gold coatings from computer CPU lids and other items. The best way is to simmer the item in full...

    Dredging in Australia for recreational activities IS illegal..

    I think that we need to clarify one thing. Dredging IS NOT ILLEGAL in NSW per say. You just need a permit from the Dept of Primary Industries. You will need a Part 7 Fisheries Management Act permit for activities involving dredging and reclamation work. I applied about 5 years ago to do a spot...
