At Repair Cafe this morning I had a novice working with me.
He looked at two LED lamps and between us decided the LED driver, touch dimmer, and USB charger pcb had died on both. They were not repairable.
Meanwhile, I repaired a little Xylophone. The elastic used to hold the tone bars had snapped so I renewed it.
I then helped a chap repair his toaster, he had the parts but not the tools.
I put a new aglet on the end of a shoelace, made from hot glue and heat shrink.
I got a mid century teak chair to repair as homework. All the joints were loose and badly reglued.
My novice had a halogen standard lamp with two built in dimmers. The circuits were fried so we worked out how to convert it to two on/off switches. It will come back next month for the conversion work.
I also provided advice, tooling, and support for the other repairs, and they did likewise for me.
It was a good morning.
Think half term won over the rugby today. Very busy at the repair cafe.
* A cricut that seemed to just work.
* A toster that they'd brought a new element for.
* A TV that they'd brought a replacement cap for but unfortunately it still didn't work.
* A set of fairy lights needed the wires splicing back in.
* another set of fairy lights that snapped right at the plug not leaving enough to solder to.
* a hoover with broken Cable Retractor, spring had snapped.

I was actually up and awake at 6am this morning. Not a great night's sleep either, but I got up and made tea for Sue.
We are off to Levenshulme #RepairCafe this morning, but the main thought that has been going through my mind this morning has been "I don't wanna....!" but I will as it will be fun.
I have already been researching how to DIY install a wet room from scratch, in case we need to do that at some point, maybe.
Anyway, breakfast, then load all the tools and head out to do good stuff for the community.

Hallo Korbach, hallo Hessen, hallo Welt!
Dieser Account ist #neuhier ! (Und muss sich noch ein Profilbildung basteln. Den Header hat er schon)
Das neue Reparatur-Café ist hier. Wir hatten nämlich schon eine Diskussion über Corporate-Social-Media und deshalb hab ich mal nen Account hier aufgesetzt.
Wir versuchen Haushaltsgeräte, Elektronik, begrenzt Fahrräder, Kleidung und IT zu reparieren und Rechner auf Linux umzustellen.
Cowbridge repair cafe is on right now until midday!
Take your broken items along to get them fixed for free.
Please direct any questions to @Uselessgeneration who organises and runs that cafe.
