Hi Guys,
First post here, so be gentle. I have recently aquired a Migmate 150 Turbo of undetermined vintage. Having perused the threads here, I think that I need to make the following changes before even switching it on for the first time -
Eurotorch conversion - The existing SIP torch is on its' way out, and needs a metal liner, and I like the idea of being able to remove the torch for neatness.
Switched Mode PSU - I have found these going really cheaply on the bay, but was wondering if they may be a bit of overkill, and a bit too large, but at £15.00 who cares - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Switched-...ecialistRadioEquipment_SM&hash=item1e6915f689
PWM Motor speed controller - £7.89 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180749001848?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Even though I did an electrical/electronic apprenticeship, I can't be arsed to build any circiuts, so these seem ok.
I may take the pot from the speed controller and replace it with a preset and multi turn pot as seen on this forum, but hopefully will just be a matter of a bit of soldering.
Any comments guys. Do you think that these mods will work, or will I be left with a cloud of smoke.
Cheers
Fraser
