Abandoned steel mill switcher at the former Wheeling Steel Plant/Complex in Benwood, WV. Having seen it's better days the yard switcher is slowly rusting away on a rail spur. Mill closed in the late 1970's. Photograph taken September 2011.
A couple of days ago, the dishwasher handle switch gave up again - Sugru wasn't rigid enough to hold its shape under regular compression and friction. So I measured out the critical dimensions, designed and printed off an insert to address the worn-down nubs.
Of course, once that was addressed the electronics died completely! They were already only half-working, but the previously-glitchy switches were probably what killed them in the end.
Replacement board(s) ordered. Once those arrive though, I think I'll reverse engineer the broken board and open source the results. Who knows what may result? ;-)
We have most of our related devices on switchable power strips so they can all be turned off with the flip of a single switch!
So I broke down and ordered a bukkumi bag from Switch when they were temporarily in stock. :B The box was huge! The package was cute, but I must say I was really hoping for one of the faceupped heads. Ah well, I do like the wigs I got, but I'll probably sell the Haji.
Just updating the photos of my collection. Some of them simply had a change of clothes/wigs/eyes, but others have had their bodies switched around, or got entirely new bodies/heads.
