You want to know the size of a particle that could cause a rub between
the VC and the magnet structure core? Is so I can't imagine it would take
much knowing the tolerances around the VC are measured in the tens of
thousands of an inch. I've seen several of these type and guitar types
get re coned living near an individual who did re-coning for a living.
Some of the shims used while gluing especially in a studio monitor
speaker like a Tannoy I saw get re-coned looked to be around 1.5 mil or
slighlty more.

These bits were rattling around in the interior space not passing through
the air filter gauze or getting graunched in the vc gap. Demounted spicer
and cone and for "reconing" this one I used 3 slivers of credit card, hardly
thou/mil sorts of dimensions.

I guess it's up to the person doing the re-coning as to what tolerances
they prefer.

You need a jam fit, to coin a term. Not a clearance or sliding fit as you
need the cone to stay at a pushed in distance, say 5mm below natural level.
To allow the glue to have a closing pressure that is a once only application
of force. Not removing hands and then placing a weight inside the cone. So
the circular VC former goes slightly triangular with 3 credit card slivers
or slightly squared with 4 (excessive deformation/ holding force for this
one)

Tim,
Micro Acoustics cartridges didn't have coils. It was actually Ortofon
cartridges and whatever name they gave their cheap line of cartridges.
Those cartridges, whose name I can't recall, usually had an open coil
within 3 years. Chuck

When the "new" battery was installed in the machine, did the battery

The "ALL" button on my Comcast "Custom 3 Device Remote Control" has
stopped working properly and only switches the cable box on and off, but
no longer controls the TV.
It's not a "synchronization" problem, I know how to fix that.
When I press the ALL button, only the "Cable" button lights, and it
blinks 3 times.
I have to press the "TV" button and then the "Power" button to turn the
TV on or off.
I can also turn the cable box on or off by pressing the "Cable" button
and then the "Power" button.
I can't find anything in the Remote Control manual describing this
faulty action of the "ALL" button.
Thanks guys,
Jeff

It's a bad manual (not guessing, I've been there).
The Comcast help menu might have instructions for doing the
programming of the remote for the function you want; that function
has to be turned OFF if you want to turn the TV off and let
your TiVO record during the night.

Couldn't find anything on the Comcast web pages after about 20 minutes
of sesaching. I tried a live chat with a tech named Cheryl which left me
feeling that if God had wanted women to understand technology he would
have given them brains instead of boobs. (Just kidding ladies.)

If it's digital cable, look at the onscreen menu features; that's
where the techs put the most helpful stuff, they only update the
web site as an afterthought.
The manual, might be the remote manufacturer's data; the
remote you got, has locked-in Comcast firmware settings
that only the local feed source knows about.

I'm going to make a wild suggestion... weak battery in the remote control.
The voltage is "sagging" by the time the sequencer gets to the TV power
signal.
I no longer have one of these, so I can't check -- but are you supposed to
hold down the button until everything comes on?
Finally... It might be that the unit is "busted". Of course, since the
operation is under microprocessor control, this seems unlikely.

Let them fix the problem, since you're paying them for the service.

No. I'm a compulsive repairman. Everything I see needs to be fixed.
If I can't fix it, it needs to be re-engineered. Everything can be
designed or built better. Spending my time on such efforts is not
particular profitable, but neither are most other hobbies. If I
wanted to get rich quick, it wouldn't be in the repair biz (unless I
was fixing something really expensive and exotic).
Jeff, sorry but, you REALLY lost me. Who wrote "Yes, but it might be not
worth fixing ...."
You seem to be one who is facing a new reality that is very distasteful and
is thrashing about both internally and externally (your rants here).
Again, sorry, not trying to bust your crotch as we actually agree as to the
fundamental issue (which is the disregard for waste and recycling issues
caused by modern manufacturing methods). I also like fixing things and do
it when I can and am mostly frustrated these days.
However, in the USA at least, the latest and the greatest has become the
mantra for most folks with bucks to spend. Heck, they send stuff to the
recycling center that works just fine because they want the new bells and
whistles. Sigh!

The US has 13 million tonnes of rare earth elements but it would take
years to extract them, suggests the first detailed report on the
country's supply.
"Rare earth" is an alternative name for the lanthanides – elements 57
to 71 – plus yttrium and scandium. China controls 97 per cent of the
world's supply and has been tightening its export quotas, sparking
concerns that the rare
earths could live up to their name.
See a map of other rare earth sites in the US.

The report suggests the US might break its dependency on China's rare
earth monopoly by looking to other future suppliers of rare earths,
including Australia and Canada.
