Hi, Well, I had it apart so I went ahead and tried the heating process on the lamp. I don't see any splattering on the lamp at all of purple material, but I added some masking tape to the threads and put it in a drill to rotate it. I hit it with a hot air station at 350 deg C and rotated it for 60-90 seconds or so. The end result is a lamp that went from 3.5V to 3.7V.
Did I do it long enough or hot enough? The repair guide I saw said something about a hot air gun and those can be 300-600 deg C... Thanks, Alan _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
