It's all coming together!
Plungers, fabricated:
 |
| left is the original one. Right is a rough prototype. Middle 3 are the wonderful new ones! |
Electronics done:
 |
| My electrician friend went through these and tested the components, replacing a capacitor here and all of the diodes and resistors. |
 |
| He also changed the capacitor here and attached a power cord. The dangling wires are for the new chime box. |
 |
| new capacitor over here too. |
 |
| supplies! New chime box (doorbell) and fresh solenoids from the UK |
 |
| new solenoid vs fried old one |
 |
| one thing to figure out is how best to fasten the new one to the mounting plate |
 |
| backing hardware from the old solenoid |
 |
| spring comparison: old v new |
Up next? This thing moves from the electronics master to the electromechanical master!
