Today I acquired...........

I don't rate blackview, we had one, it was rubbish, rate Ulefor though.

No i'm confusing Crosscall, with Blackview. My IP 68 Blackview was great, it kind of survived 3m at 5 hours, well beyond the specs. But as it was pulled out , it died.

Croscall are rubbish,Blackview i rate, but Ulefor are better.

Looks much too nice to use at work

It won't look nice in a few days

Thanks for the offer but mine is still working fine, just a bit scabby and melted I would imagine the BV5900 will be in a similar state in the next week or two

 

[Barking Mat]

I'm on a Ulefone thing, and it's great. Frankly.

On that note, It's had a good innings, if the caps start to deteriorate ( which they no doubt will ) what would be the symptoms?

Re Migatronic. What would I be looking at if the caps failed, obviously change the lot. Price wise would it be worth it, I've no idea about electremicals.

Today I acquired another phone. Always liked my Blackview BV6000 but decided to go for a Ulefone Armor a while back but just couldn't get on with the camera. I never thought it took that great a picture and the colouration was poor.
So today I got another Blackview but this time a BV5900 the same as the other half has. She likes it so we will see.
I had to get one with a different colour so we could tell them apart but they didn't have the green so had to go with orange, apart from that it seems good so far, we will see if the pics look better than the Ulefone in the next day or two.

Yeah, the camera is cr*p on the Armor X-7. I was a bit disappointed with it, as it's nominally 15Mp, but produces worse results than a 15 year old K750i with 2Mp.
In contrast, the S-E 8Mp camera on my old phone was, and still is, one of the best phone cameras I've used.

Exactly the same machine

A bit pointless, but novell. These things are nuts prices atm, but there we are

Thanks Brad. Never seen that before but a cool process

Rototec Spray Torch

Nice, what Powders did it come with. All mine are for building up cutting edges, tooling dies etc.

Luckily it’s got the proper rototec powders for shafts.

This torch is not like the Stubbs torch, which is basically the same as a Eutectic super jet. This torch is only any good for doing rotating shafts.

All my 1/4 sockets have gone walkabout so got this tidy little Bahco set.

 

[dobbslc]

I’ve got one of those, it’s a nice little set.
