timestep fitting questions

[The Vinyl Adventure]

I'm sure there a thread/web page containing photo's on how to fit a timestep/remove the other power supply? in fact, dave said there was... I just can't find it! Forgot to ask again this morning, and it's a bit late now... So... Any ideas anyone?
Also I'm gonna get a new/better soldering iron from the model shop upstairs from work tomo, they have a 25v one and a 40v one - which would be better for this kind on perpous? My current one is really low powered and takes ages to heat up solder, never mind a contact to melt solder! Also, should I use any particular type of solder?

.... im watching troy, but i cant imagine everyone else is.. its interesting for the story, but brad pitt is a bit crap in it!

so what about this timestep then... have the people to answer the question just not been here tonight

[The Vinyl Adventure]

a simple "the instructions with pictures come in the box" would have sufficed :)
found a soldering iron too now so you can all ignor this thread now ......... .........

I fitted a Time-Step the other day. The only scary moments are taking out the transformer & chopping the three wires. Bit of a fingers crossed moment.

i guess it all makes more sence when i actually get inside the thing? i cant make out exactly what i supoded to do from the pictures!

[Dave Cawley]

Hamish, what can't you make out?

Dave

[The Vinyl Adventure]

the wires that i need to cut...
... not to worry to much for now though dave, if i get stuck when im inside the machine il worry about it then .. the pictures are confusing to me but only because im not inside the machine
just getting ahead of my self as usual :)

[Dave Cawley]

Hi Hamish

Yes you are! If you follow the instructions, that start with taking the plastic cover off, then all will become clear! Do one thing at a time.......

Regards

Dave

[The Vinyl Adventure]

heh, as i said before, i did think it would all become clear...
have you not yet picked up on the fact im a pain in the ass when it comes to hifi... you will... in time... you got a fun customer in me dave! ;)

[Dave Cawley]

I can work with "pain in the arse" customers, providing they can work with me!! In our now fading weather satellite business, we had customers that stayed with us for 20+ years.

Anyway, anyone with a D3 is 100% OK in my books!!

I'd say to definately get a gas powered iron. I bought an Iroda one off of eBay and it's fantastic, especially with the hot air blower and gas torch attachments. I've done everything from fine soldering to hard-core internal binding post wiring with it and it heats up in about 30 seconds.
