Mr fixit I still have pics and have read your instructions for posting pics and even though anyone can do it, IT DOES NOT WORK ON MY DEVICE. I am using an old iPad that is iOS 12.5.7, my internet banking no longer works on it nor will a lot of sites that I wish to purchase from, PayPal will no longer work either. Every time I log in here I get a banner across the screen saying wplink failed to initialise. I may be old, I am not stupid, I click the picture icon and I get the blank window as you have illustrated but clicking does absolutely nothing, so unless you or somebody else wants to send me a PM with an email address I can send the pics to you are not going to be able to see them.

In the hope of general stress-relief: I am sending you my eMail address

Send me the photos and I will post them.

[ Just a side-note]

This is way beyond my comprehension, but may be of interest to someone cleverer:

I do hope the forum software can cope

… it seems increasingly flakey at the moment.

HiMichaelG.

Really pleased you found out how easy it is to post your images, They are very interesting to see, thank you for sending them. I see that your converter Circuit looks the same as mine and in excellent condition, you have looked after it well. The paintwork is really good as well, mine has rust on three sides of the box and a rusty lid. Any chance that you could put a continuity meter on the BLACK WIRE OF C3 10Uf Capacitor and see wich switch position thje HP Switch is set on when C3 is connected to the centre pin (WHITE ARROW) IN PICTURES, You will find that the BLACK WIRE goes to one of the (RED ARROW) contacts. I will be very interested to see what you find.

I thought you may have trouble sending a Text email address, the only way I found to do it on Ebay is to write it on an Image then attatch the immage, but do it coloured and small so the AI can’t recognise it. My converter has not changed since my last picture, low priority at the moment, and I like to do things carefully,

Many Thanks MichaelG.

Sorry but no chance of any continuity readings, I do mechanical not electrical and I have put the converter back where it belongs and it will take half a day to get it out again, something I am not prepared to do. Many thanks to Michael for putting up my pics. Finally got to bottom of posting pics problem, tried with daughters up to date iPad and tapping in the white oblong box brings up her photos, it doesn’t on mine so the problem must relate to the version of mine which is no longer supported. I must ask Santa for a new iPad and then I can post my own pics.

Since capacitors are mentioned in this thread, there is a useful website called “badcaps forums” which lists the different makes according to their quality, amongst many other related subjects, and is well worth googling.

Hi Baz,

Sorry about the my confusion, I have a very bad memory for names, I just saw your pictures and the name Michael and I never thought to queery it. Pity you did not trace the wire though, to see where it goes you would have to cut off all the cable ties and that is a lot of trouble to go to, never mind. I wonder if the one Noel has just got might be the same

Hi John,

Not sure if you will ever see this message, I am sure I am typing it in completely the wrong place in a maze of twisty passages, I just wondered what happened to your old Static Converter, have you still got it or did Noel buy it, I would have liked it for my old Harrison Graduate Wood Lathe, the motor is too old to be powered by a Variable Frequency converter.
