Rebuilding control head

[Control head rebuild]

[RobH]

Is that a comment or a question ?  Do we take it you are having problems with doing it?

Do you have a name or do we call you "control head" ?

There was a full missive on this very subject, I may be able to find it if I knew who for!

This sort of thing has happened here before.

And, as before, it has possibly been sent by someone at GCHQ, (the 'Head Conroller'?) in search of people who can crack the code.

Maybe white characters on a white background?

Or maybe some bits of hexadecimal  hidden inside the grumpy face?

 

Maybe just someone who has taken his/her control head apart and learnt too late that you should always do it inside a plastic bag.

do you have to be inside the plastic bag as well?

Based on my experience a hermetically sealed clean room is a good option.  I doubt I will ever find all the parts.

To be serious for a moment…..

 

It’s because of this forum that I discovered that the best way to take something apart that contains springs under tension is to hold it inside a plastic bag while you unscrew the parts.

 

Pretty obvious really.

But I never thought of it before.

 

Same with pulling something apart with screws smaller than 2BA.

 

Do it on a tea tray with a tea towel covering it.

(The tea tray has edges to stop the bits falling off, and the tea towel stops the parts rolling around.)
