  1. Wrap removal

    I listened to ed rollins being interviewed last week. He ran many republican campaigns & ross perot’s 3rd party bid in 1992. HE often talks about “the day after” you know you lost, the volunteers are gone, the little people aren’t getting paid anymore. Dumpsters need to be filled desks need to...
  2. Restore Faded Coroplast, Ideas?

    something like armor all or that stuff that makes oxidized autopaint "look new"
  3. Show Off Your Shop >> FireSprint Shop Tour

    if you use one of those shipping add ins that compare rates between different SHIPPING choices it is necessary. also if a quote is requested. (I AM ANSWERING BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE SHIPPING CLIENTS. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FIRESPRINT EXCEPT WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE VIDEO)
  4. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    i am not sure either. it certainly WAS a winning strategy with calcomps, years sgo & with rolands as new as the sc545-ex. ( i still print on one quite a bit) life was siimpler back then & LSI was more resilient. in those days finding a service manual was a rarity. remember only a few years ago...

    a couple of my guys think it is funny that the garbage compactor is what i felt was worthy of comment. that is because I KNEW YOUR PRINTING WAS STATE OF THE ART
  6. Show Off Your Shop >> FireSprint Shop Tour

    Very impressive. i have helped setup high volume packing/ shipping for clients in the past i have to say i wouldn't change a thing we have installed many cardboard compactors, but, i love the garbage compactor it must save quite a bit of time
  7. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    you could CAREFULLY apply switched power with a constant current/current regulating power supply. i am completely unfamiliar with your model. what are the switched power voltages? 12VDC & 5VDC? i hesitate to give this type of advice, because you can do more harm than good, but, you could apply...
  8. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    your right. while i have fixed a few system boards I WOULD HATE to pay anyone the hourly rate for the time i wasted on this
  9. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    i am curious, what was shorted? Probably the best, most versatile piece of test equipment of the last 50 years was the Huntron Tracker (1000 or 2000) it gave you the ability to go along a power supply buss and it could sense proximity to a dead short. (along with Many other capabilities...
  10. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    for the layer to layer connections, the best thing is to have the board put through one of those ovens the repair depots use for the nvidia chipsets that go intermittent i no longer have access to one these were the best way to do the repair without risk of damage to the board THE PROBLEM IS...
  11. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    There is no shortcut to doing actual troubleshooting. someone needs to tske the service manual, a dvm and perhaps an oscilloscope to decide WHAT IS NOT THERE. no one can tell you with so little info why your machine is dead. take the service manual & verify if all the “always on” voltages...
  12. ROLAND VP-540 Will not power up

    there is not simply one component that fails. you need a service manual (and a bit of EXPERIENCE at this sort of thing) i have often found bad solder connections and "feed throughs" from layer to layer on the boards. damonc21 is probably the expert on these machines, the most important...
  13. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    I am surprised. everywhere they have those posts to protect gas pumps, etc (every once in a while you get the careless or drunk driver gojng into the frontwindow of a convenience store.) the soda companies and cigarette companies provide these all the time
  14. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    True enough, but i see them up EVERYWHERE. and my client will resell quite a few of these. with a higherpriced substrate it won’t happen. The whole project will just go away or theybwill purchase elsewhere
  15. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    i have been ordering very little, with the wife hospitalized, so i had fallen away from ordering from grimco. thank you!
  16. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    no, ideally it will outlive me. seriously, though, slit i side of the flute, in four places, making a rectangle, (the way the supermakets make end of aisle displays) then put a length of 2" gaffer tape on the inside, reinforcing the inside seams, and allow a 2 inch overlap, with banner tape...
  17. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    we have been asked to make some "wrap arounds" for the pipe protecting gas pumps (see picture) can i get white coro with flutes running on the 4' dimension? then i can use a coro claw and slit one side of the coro and wrap around otherwise, what would you use to join 2 4' pieces together ...
  18. Need Help GSP Sprint

    power supply? much like an smc 4 or 4b, i would start by carefully reseating every connector, AFTER UNPLUGGING & waiting 30 minutes you can blow it all out with compressed air, wash the boards down with isopropyl, examine heavy pcb connections for cracks a service manual would be useful. (one...
  19. Mutoh VJ628 Can't pull ink after damper replacement

    if it is pulling vacuum you have a clog (vacuum showing on the guage if no vacuum (stays at 0) you have an air leak (loose connector, pin hole or bad oring)

    my favorite tool when that happens...
