I hate to be "that guy" but I'm a spring maker and I can tell you that brass is available in spring temper and that a lot of battery terminals are made from it and bronze. 17-7 stainless steel is also popular. The problem is the plating, once we got away from nickel it was all down hill from there.

A great tutorial on terminal corrosion. A small and maybe picky point: dielectric grease is a good idea, but not because it is conductive--it is not. It is actually usefully non-conductive, though it does not interfere appreciably with current flow through conductors in good contact with each other. It can protect the connection from the elements, reduce corrosion and reduce voltage leakage that would otherwise happen through surface moisture.
@GeorgeWMays
4 жыл бұрын
Just a note. A dielectric is an insulator - not a conductor. So that stuff is non-conducting grease. The circuit still relies on metal-to-metal contact. The grease apparently protects the metals from oxidation or environmental contaminents. Anyway, thanks, your videos are always great; I look forward to each one.

I use pipe cleaners and denatured alcohol. The pipe cleaners can be bent to a desired shape and can get in between the coils of a coiled contact. (In avionic electronics - we used a lot of pipe cleaners.) Have to go to a smoke shop to get pipe cleaners any more. I use the smooth ones -- some of the brands are rather course. There are many chemicals that can be used - I always have denatured alcohol on the bench - so that is what I use. For printed circuit connectors (the gold ones printed on the edge of the board), we used a mechanical eraser (a motorized eraser). Works well but most people don’t have them and they are hard to find anymore.

Many years ago one of the monthly tasks was to use an pencil eraser on our backup cryptographic equipment. The device was an improvement on the German WW2 "enigma" machine addressing several of enigma's shortcomings. It had rotors like the enigma machine and all the brass contacts around the side of each rotor had to be scrubbed clean. After that the machine was set up and tested before being packed away for another month. A good stand-alone eraser usually works better than the pencil erasers that are usually too hard... though the pencil erasers are handier to use in a tight spot. Cheers from NC/USA

I will have to try the Hydrongen Peroxide and eraser technique next time! Good intro course on a new buffer, I was actually looking to buy one.

I dont hide in the house, but when I'm out I'm wearing a mask. It's too risky for me if I bring it home. My brother is easier about it. He lost his wife last august so he's alone and doesnt mind the risk. If I'm not careful I could bring it home and actually kill somebody. It just hasn't come down far enough to reach my comfort zone. I think we need just a few more weeks. We'll see how it goes and as always, hope for the best.

I spent 32 years as an essential employee at the MTA, Every holiday, weekend, nights... We NEVER closed except if we were on strike and that was illegal for us to do... It's good and bad, good because we are always working and bad because we are always working! =D

@@ScoutCrafter I work for Loomis, so we don't often work holidays or many weekends, but we make up for that with the "danger" factor.

So that "other guy" who is always in your videos what's his name Don? HaHa. Another great video Scoutcrafter. I need to buy a buffer. I was trying to choose between 6" and 8". I think you just helped make the decision. I am going to get an 8" cause if I put my 8" wheels on the 6" it will be too fast.

Hey Scoutcrafter. Your part at the end reminded me of the song Dialogue (part I & II),by Chicago. If you haven't heard it recently, you should give it a listen.

John, you haven't mentioned it, so I hope you didn't miss the PSA that NYC has been running about what to do when the city is obliterated by a nuclear strike.

Hey ScoutCrafter, I have a question for you as I'm looking at buying this same buffer and want to know - How much horse power does this buffer have, ie 1/3 or 1/2 horse? Thank-Later

Marvin- I never even looked at the HP rating because you can't trust the ratings. So many people have had bad experiences buying motors comparing HP. Lots of foreign manufacturers just make up their HP ratings...

Great video! I'm adding that polisher to my wish list. I miss the days when you could buy typewriter erasers cheaply. They had an extra hard eraser on one end and a little brush on the other end. I always thought those did a better job of getting the crud off of terminals. However once people came up with white-out and correction tape, you couldn't find those erasers anymore. Now they go for crazy prices on ebay. Or 5 bucks a piece. www.amazon.com/dp/B000OZF13W/ Do you remember those?
