I had a NuStart installed recently, after several cycles it dropped from 63A to 17A on a 5 ton Rheem and was noticibly quieter and no more light flicker. Cheap? No, but if I get extra years out of the compressor it will be worth it it, imo. Time will tell.

I installed one at our previous house, and it worked well and my wife liked it so much that I still hear about it regularly, since our current house doesn’t have a good wall space for one.

You are hitting the nail on the head there…. Empty cheap space and the country club for car guys, that was the entire concept and why I think ours was successful where others have failed. The facility I am at wasn’t targeting the higher wealth and didn’t come loaded with amenities, at least not...

Here’s mine while still finishing them. I am super glad I went 42” wide, it makes a huge difference.

Awesome, glad you found the thread! I remember that trip, it was a blast.

Avoid surgery if you can…. I am a veteran of a bunch of procedures, it’s never fun and it seldom yields the results you are going to expect. In my experience, it does fix the problem, it just changes the symptoms. I have a cervical fusion from C3 to T2, and have had L5-S1 fixed as well. You...

@Skellyii @Jagmandave heads up, we are doing a condo owners “open your garage” event tonight. It’s always a great car show/hang and talk shop, come on out tonight.

Garage condo owner here. From my perspective, it’s been nothing but great. I don’t know of too many folks who have actually owned a unit at our facility that would say otherwise. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original owners at Stonegate (a local complex that didn’t really take off) might...

Hey Skelly, doing any work lately on your 944? I was down in your neck of the woods last weekend and saw a red 944 tooling around.

Any chance you’ll look at ASA in the future? I need the uv propertiesit has, unless someone wants to name a good alternative, but Inland ASA prints flawlessly for me and is dead on consistent. Very very few fail to complete prints with it.

You are dead on…. I have no idea what I was thinking when I typed that except that I wasn’t paying attention to what I was typing.

Tools of the trade... I've been using Kleins for decades, electricians snips are invaluable on a jobsite, just don't call them "scissors". lol The trick on using these is to palm one side and have your thumb through the hole on the other, it gives you a LOT of leverage when cutting. The test...

I wonder if you might know a buddy of mine, out of N Las Vegas…. He’s got among other old bikes, a 1929 JDS, and piles of old NOS Harley parts from dealership closings and whatnot over the years. The JDS is about his favorite as well, although he’s in his 80’s now he still gets out and rides...

Bah, y’all are a bunch of pikers…. You ain’t seen nuthin’ until you start exploring the dark netherworlds of Porsche wrenching, where you literally buy tools whose only purpose is to adjust another Porsche specific tool.

You might just try sanding it with 320 or 400 grit, and if it needs anything more, hit it with a light dusting of satin spray paint in the correct color.
