For Christmas I purchased Itsaring a really nice solder gun that OBN suggested. Thanks OBN!
Pictured is the baby that I purchased for 540 on E-bay for 'parts'. It is in great working order but did have a few issues.
1. The O-Rings were in horrible shape. Itsaring and I replaced those ourselves thanks to OBN's guidance!
2. The knobs were broken or missing. We replaced those ourselves.
3. The power supply cord cut on and off when wiggled where it plugs into the battery. Thanks to Itsaring's awesome talent and with the help of the new solder gun, we were able to take apart the plug and found squished wires (Special thanks to Imalookin2 for instructions). Itsaring was able to cut the squished wires off and solder the good wires back to the unit and it now works great!
4. The battery case is cracked at the threads and I need a new battery in it so I would love to give one of the sponsors some money for a top notch new battery and the endcap for the battery case.
5. I purchased and put a Plugger shaft on it which I LOVE! It breaks down into three pieces for easy traveling. Check out RodsbyPlugger if you're in the market for a new rod.
She's been working great in testing out on the beach. Now to just get some sand to move. All surrounding counties including mine have major projects going on to pump sand onto the beaches to 'fix' what hurricane Matthew took away. Sad part is she piled up so much sand in most places that we don't need it but we do need the dunes rebuilt.
It's been a great year. Time will tell what next year will bring. Several beaches here are now closed due to the construction work until Spring! Maybe they will pump up something cool. We shall see!
