She's got the Rayburn and a full tank of oil. Last time I was talking to her about beans she mentioned flicking.

Is that what Mrs Fox Hat is left to heat her beans up with until February?

Euphemism alert

I ran out of time. It will be a project for when I get back home in Feb, but I have found my old soldering iron (that rests in a Mecano cradle.)

No spare parts...

Don't keep us in suspense.

What happened next?

Fair point. electrolytics don't like heat, they'll dry out and stop being capacitors.
Won't necessarily show signs of failure, unlike when ...err... someone... plugs them in the wrong way round :whistle:

[xoggoth]

Most of the time it'll be a capacitor or 2 that'll need replacing

Not a bad idea. Much of the time it's electrolytic capacitors that fail first.

[SeededLoaf]

Would it not be worth looking at getting the PCB repaired by a specialist? Most of the time it'll be a capacitor or 2 that'll need replacing rather than any of the chips. A friend repairs my heater control PCB every few years, they stopped making parts for it years ago.

Regrettably far too late for shauny to make an economic contribution to society.

My contributions go way beyond the merely economic. I am a cultural enigma me!!

In a few hundred years you'll be able to buy a sack of gloop and tell it to structure itself into whatever inanimate household object you require!

In a few hundred years you may be able to get parts for models that are decades old because the manufacturers won't be able to come up with any significant innovations. ..

He could invite you round, and then there'd be no food left in the house to cook, so it wouldn't matter.
