Things are a little different in the UK. Here the rules (currently) say work from home if you can. That basically means anywhere like a factory or warehouse can remain open providing they can offer a safe working environment. So measures such as ext

I have two machines - Emerald-X and Topaz-X. I cleaned (and changed Koganei electromagnets) only in Topaz-X - Emerald-X is in very good condition :) But my Emerald-X have SF (not FNC) heads. If head 1 is OK - change the relays with head 2 and check.

Hi Rob, my previous offer to you assumed you would stick with Yamaha, if others suit you then we could also supply. If Why no one recommends Samsung/Hanwha you ask, from the seller's point of view, Samsung's market is majorly in China, with about 2~3

We have to place some LCC208's. The terminations are flush with the underside of the package, on an 0.5mm pitch. The pads on the board are flat tin. We'd like to get the part up in the air a little to provide some clearance for cleaning. Is there a w
