A cart that doesn't work?

[Drakon]

Surely it could crack more. But does it matter? I'm the only one who's going to use it.

Oh okay I thought you were sending it back to fredj

[Da Bear]

No, I bought it from him

I recently got a cart that is very tempermental. I've tried cleaning the contacts (without opening the cart) and it is only slightly better then before. Anything else I can try to make it work everytime instead of once every 10-20 re-seats?

There's good hope it will work better if you clean it more. Maybe need better cleaning fluid.

just wonder why no one is using hit-resistant wires for work

are hit-resistant wires uncommon or expensive?

highly recommend you to use hit-resistant cables with fluoropolymer (aka 'teflon') insulation coverage, you'll never melt the wire insulation by unexpected soldering iron touch. Unless you are using hell heat more than 320 C. Really very handy!

I'm having trouble finding good wires. Almost every store has these crappy wires that melt

I swear by this stuff as well. Beats the hell out of rubbing alcohol when it comes to getting off really stubborn grime and doesn't seem to harm the contacts.

Dunno, mate. For myself i found some 105C rated multicore wires in different colours, which is good enough, or i just do soldering, not melting insulation

take a look at the picture from the previous page http://www.gnys.se/da_bear/famicom/DSC_9222.jpg

as you can see, the insulation around naked wire was melted. Melted around soldering point.

Does it have to be Weiman?

[famifan]

no problem, 0.12 mm squared multicore wire

МГТФ

for me assembling with this wire looks more professional ^_^

[famifan]

It is, but i'm affraid, that some "professionals" can fuck up even heat resistant wire

While ago i used something looks similar(butcherized some industrial communication controllers), but it was very limited amount and i never saw it again. It was a bit tricky to strip insulation without damaging core wires.

yep, if you can't strip insulation without damaging just use the lighter and actually burn some insulation with it =)

"ad"

there are tons of this wire around me. МГТФ means multicore hit-resistant (-60 +220C) assembling copper wire covered by Polytetrafluoroethylene insulation. Very flexible.

4 options are available: 0.07, 0.12, 0.20 and 0.35 mm squared. Retail cost is about 0.25-0.5 $USD per meter depends on its thickness. if anybody interested in getting this magic wire pm me

finding this stuff in the UK is proving most difficult. Anyone know where to get it or an equivalent product available in the UK? otherwise I might have to order a bottle from the States and that seems a bit silly
