Bosch vacuum cleaner floor attachment brush wasn't rotating properly.
Took it apart.
For some reason one of the turbine bearings was missing.
Must have fallen out during previous cleaning?
Made a new bearing on my little lathe push fit as per original.
How it should look (good side)
What was left, missing the bearing core (duff side)
New part turned
Push fitted
On the turbine spindle
All back together.
Sounds up and drives the rotating brush like new.

Alesis Quadraverb Plus.
Broken / worn out power switch. Eyeballed the faulty one, looked at similar ones on eBay, took a punt on one that looked close enough.
Turned out it was a perfect fit. Ok, not the most involved of fixes, but I'll take it!
(If anyone in the uk wants a quad plus in full working order, give me a shout! Otherwise its off to ebay....)
Cheers, and regards,
Ant

A corkscrew.
A model that has two levers likes arms, that we call a De Gaulle.
An arm had lost its screw.
Not field tested yet.

Reed valve?
I replaced the connector on the lights to my trailer today. My son helped me load two roll around tool chests and two additional tool chests and a metal (Jet) band saw on it and took them to the new house.
I contracted to have wood flooring down in most of the house and LPV put down in the kitchen/dining/laundry areas. Hopefully it will be complete by the 14th.
Kitchen shelves are due to be installed Monday.
I need to move by the 19th to be there in time for my surgery.
Tight schedule, but I may just make it.
More helicopters are going over. They are near constant since the flood.

It seems that everything that I buy either needs modification or return to sender. Unfortunately, this includes the 1930's house that I bought 17 years ago. Started looking around and yes, I expected to spend money, but it doesn't stop me from more looking. I spied this next 'fix' when I bought the house and let it go for all of those years. Now it has become time to redo some really crappy work. I am now an underhouse miner. The more I look, the more I dig and replace unbelievable 'supports' (stacks of crap and wood under the floor joists). Pur some concrete, use some heavy duty pipe supports and keep on digging.

I have an idea of what you are talking about because I tried to repair a board mounted rotary selector switch in a Carver unit. In my case, I finally had to replace it with a much sturdier rotary switch. The old one was mounted to the board much like you described and was next to impossible not to damage. It was all open air as well. Not very impressive.
Actually i do not use the selector that much as this is my computer audio system, but lately it was not possible use the amp anymore. In case I had damaged the board I would have replaced the selector with a rotary one and used external cables.
This is my selector, it was much dirtier than that and the copper parts are so tiny and fragile that was very difficult to restore the contact with the fix part.

You have much patience my friend. These fragile little demons laugh when we remove their shell.
Thanks for the photo. I like to see different designs that make or break us (switch humor).

Did you try contact cleanr/lube before surgery? Often those switches corrode when sitting and a blast of the cleaner/lube brings them back to life. Are you close to the ocean?
The blocked roof-drain of my old Z4 clunker.
Been on the to-do list for way too long so decided to tackle it. Jack up, wheel off, loosen arch liner, insert unblocker wire. Nothing too complicated but a chore nonetheless.
Everytime it rains the drain channel overflows into the interior and pools in the seat-wells. It's already zapped the passenger-occupancy detector module which causes the seat-belt light to remian on in the dash, so that will be the next residual job to tackle.
'It never rains but it pours.'
The putrid deluge that came when the blockage was removed was a spectacle to behold,and smell. yuk

Try Kontakt PRF 7-78.
It's specially formulated for slider switches, faders etc.
I had to replace the door interlock on my Calmdo (convection oven/air fryer) , but didn't they make it just a little annoying to get to?!
I only had to use 2 6 inch extensions and a 6 inch bit to get the the front screws... This view is of the back.
5$ and it's working like it should again.

My Fluke 3000 wire probe's external speaker failed after only a few months of light use but I don't rely on a tracker much these days, so I just used the headphone jack instead of taking care of the problem... until late yesterday afternoon, when I realized that I'd need it today and given the nature of the work, having an ear bud lead hanging off the probe would be inconvenient AF. I opened it up and verified that the little 36mm/6ohm speaker was toast. When I couldn't find a donor speaker in the parts graveyard, I grabbed a Dayton ND16fa-8 tweeter and jumpered it to the board. It worked at ~ half of the normal volume and would need a little dremel work and hot glue but, fine, that was better than constantly having an ear bud yanked out of my ear. Before committing to the surgery, I decided to run into town and check our little country hardware store. They're misc hardware and do-dads section is actually pretty impressive so it was worth a shot. I grabbed a bag of peanuts for the squirrels while I was there and went to check out just before closing. "Did ya find everything you need"? Nah, but it was a real long-shot"... I pulled the speaker out of my pocket and showed her. As I was paying, she held up a walkie talkie that the employees use. "You think the speaker in this thing might work"? "Hmmm, it might".
She tells me to hold on and went to the back, returning with a radio that wasn't working well, handed it to me and wished me luck. A half hour later I was press fitting a freshly scavenged 36mm/6ohm speaker into place. What are the odds? Honestly,, I could have probably spent $120 on amazon, had new probe here by 8am and it would have been worth every penny but this is way more satisfying.
