If a 50 micron hair is enough to block a function, it looks as though the moving contact pads are too hard. I wonder if they harden-up with age or use. |

I have never heard of "Bacofoil". Is it just aluminum foil? I know that we share many products that go by different names. But then there are a few products that we don't share with you folks on the other side of the water. Like Marmite, for example. I can buy Marmite here, but I won't. Cheers, Eric |

Cheers, Eric Eric, Marmite is really good for adding to a gravy that is a bit sweet, fatty, or otherwise insipid or just not wide enough. You only need a little, though. (If you can taste the Marmite you've put too much in) It can really open the whole thing out. Anchovy does similar things to food that requires "something more to liven it up but I don't know what". Again you don't want it tasting of Anchovy. Gareth. |

I like marmite but cannot stand the oz supposed equivalent vegemite , it has celery in it or something like that. What I don't understand is why something that the processors get paid by brewers to take away, as a waste product, ends up in the shops 10 times the price of similar size jars of mustard , that those processors have to pay farmers to produce the main ingredient. |

The generic terms are used, because there are so many brands. If you've never been to the United States you have no idea of its size. A lot of brands are regional, so someone outside of that area wouldn't know what you were talking about. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |

In the UK we are quite happy >to refer to a hoover or selotape or Stilsons or Mole-grips or Jubilee >Clips or veroboard or whatever, instead of a generic term Oh, I don't think that's quite accurate. We ask for a Kleenex when we want a tissue, a Q-Tip when we want a cotton swab, a Cresent wrench when we want an adjustable wrench (spanner to you), Vise_Grips when we want locking pliers, etc. By the way, I think Mole Grips are the equivalent of Vise-Grips. Which of course means they grip very hard. Have you ever been gripped by a mole? All the moles I have seen are small creatures with small appendages. I can't imagine they have much grip. Eric |
| "Arfa Daily" <arfa.daily@ntlworld.com>: Nov 13 01:55AM > Marmite here, but I won't. > Cheers, > Eric Yep, just ally foil, usually shiny on one side and dull on the other. "Bacofoil" is just one of the original trade names associated with the product over here. Anyone my age will just call it Bacofoil in the same way as just about any vacuum cleaner gets called a "Hoover". Just as a matter of interest, why would you not buy Marmite ? Is it just that you don't like the taste ? Arfa |

| N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Nov 13 10:14AM Back to piano and forte. Is there a recognised technique with perhaps a modified air duster to get under an affected key and the contacts area and only requiring removing the top "hearth surround" cover perhaps, for shifting non grimey guunge, as an at-venue emergency temporary fix? |

Is it just >that you don't like the taste ? >Arfa I tried Marmite and just plain didn't like it. A store called "The British Pantry" that I used to live near sold it. They suggested spreading it on crackers. I tried it and decided not to try it again. This is not to suggest that I don't like different things or strong tasting stuff. I make several types of Thai curries and one ubiquitous ingredient called for is fish sauce. I bought some, opened the bottle, and the smell of rotten fish almost gagged me when I stuck my nose over the bottle and breathed in. The curry I was making called for 1/4 cup of the stuff but the smell was so bad I only used 1 tablespoon. The curry just didn't taste right until I used the proper 1/4 cup amount. Maybe I need to put Marmite in something to flavor it. Thanks for identifying Bacofoil. The reason for a dull side and a shiny side is because the foil is rolled as two sheets which are separated after rolling. The shiny side is the side facing the rolls. Thanks for posting the link too. Eric |
| "Arfa Daily" <arfa.daily@ntlworld.com>: Nov 13 01:04PM I thought I had the manuals for just about every common item Technics ever produced, but not this one ... Anyone got a PDF of the schematic for a Technics ST-X990L. Particularly interested in the bit around the PSU The arfa.daily email address that this was posted from works, in case anyone can help TIA Arfa |

Spaces added to avoid spam) Well,how nice this is, I have one also without a manual, so cannot help you there. I have a BT-501 MW. Does this mean he is even older? Someone gave it to me somewhere between 1990 and 1995(used)and it is stll going strong. appeltje@icloud.com |
