But the key point the op appears to have not noticed is that his crude paper cap has already lasted over 70 years. That is more than good enough. NT |

| Mike S <mscir@yahoo.com>: Aug 23 02:53AM -0700 I have a friend whose phone slowed down quite a bit, he did the usual stuff (clear cache, remove unneeded apps including stuff running in the background) but it's still frustratingly slow. It's a Samsung and it's 4 years old and he uses it a lot. I read about write cycle limits per memory cell here: "Note that TLC is a type of NAND memory pioneered by Samsung. It's the cheapest to produce but has the worst durability: 4,000 write cycles per cell versus 10,000 in the more standard MLC type. This might be why Samsung devices have a reputation for slowing down more than non-Samsung devices." https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/phones-slow-usage-years/ I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that shows the write count for memory in an Android phone. |

Makers claim it is to preserve running time on a battery that has lost capacity - as Lithium types all do. Others suspect it is to make you buy a new phone... .... Phil |

She still uses it for all her sewing. I bought a complete rebuild kit a few years ago and still have the leftover pieces. The biggest problem is lint and dust collection, but you have taken care of that. Have you actually tried sewing cloth with the machine. My wife seldom operates it at full speed. Sewing with the machine is an art, not a race. And the foot control is a wire-wound resistor with a slider. Paul |

I have a larger machine that is really heavy and a real chore to set up. That little featherweight is a joy to use. It is supposed to be able to sew leather but the motor stalls. Looking online for information about this machine I found out all sorts of folks collect them and actually use them a lot. I also found a zig zag attachment that I use when patching holes in my work shirts. Eric |
| tabbypurr@gmail.com: Aug 22 04:15PM -0700 > operating control. And the best way to check it. > Thanks, > Eric Simple: connect it up without the controller to see how fast it goes. Didn't know zigzag adaptors existed for ancient machines Some early electric machines are quite slow. NT |

One I saw recently had an "air controller" - model 6233. https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/85245157 Yep, the foot pedal fed compressed air to the machine via a rubber tube. https://www.perfecttimingsewing.com/product-page/singer-air-foot-controller Not sure how that activated a triac circuit. .....

Original motor is not powerful enough. She has to help the machine by hand. Paul |

She would have me install one of the carbon pile type, because it gave a smoother control. I would save the old ones and add a few extra disks to them to return them to like new condition. The wirewound controller changes speed in steps, not in a linear fashion. I also replaced old motors when they no longer had enough torque for thicker material. She sewed six to ten hours a day, and wore out eight commercial grade machines. -- Never piss off an Engineer! They don't get mad. They don't get even. They go for over unity! ;-) |
