If you are left with extra bits after you've put electrical or mechanical machinery back together you have done it wrong and are incompetent and more importantly NOT SAFE. Anyone reading that should not accept that as normal. You need to be more careful, more methodical and logical and take more notes/pictures. Lay components / fittings / fasteners out in a pattern or different pots or on paper or card, number them. Whatever it takes to make sure you havent missed something.

Brand new pumps like that will make a horrendous clatter until they're primed.Then they go quiet once the fluid goes through.

Whilst we're on the subject, I've got a 1500w smoke machine here with an o/c heater block, I can't get an exact replacement but can get a generic 1500w heater block, if I was to stick one of those in the machine and refit the thermal switch in the same position on the generic block as it was on the original heater block would I burn a venue to the ground or would it work....?

...for this, and anything else your unsure of, I would get a tech to repair it and sign it off for insurance purposes. I'm confident when I can source parts and make the correct repair and have at minimum it pass PAT. But if you you are EVER unsure, get it don't by somebody qualified so that you are inline with you liability insurance and any other paper work that you COULD fall foul of by "bodging" or "hacking" away at and it be the downfall of your company.
Don't play games with your life or anybody else's. And insurance companies don't pay out on stupidity. |
