MODS: Sticky maybe? This looks like an excellent buy (less than half price) for a Pylontech Lithium Ion 3.5kW US3000 Battery. Silverton (Pretoria) area. Just note that this is NOT the newer US3000C battery, so please do your homework. Either way its a bargain IMO...

So, the Reserve Bank is busy with a project to establish a Deposit Insurance Scheme (DIS) in order to protect any depositor (natural person) up to R100,000 per bank, should that bank go under. I found this very informative and to the point document on the SARB site, since my bank had no idea...

Hi all, as I'm writing this, I'm livid and ready to close my ABSA accounts. I've been a good ABSA (Volkskas Bank originally) account holder since the early '70s. They've always had my main business, etc. but service has decline over time to the point which I'm genuinely at the end of my tether...

I've been so jealous of all the members with their awesome solar installs, but finally I'm almost done with our 1st phase of the install. We will be building a new house down the road in the foreseeable future, so did not want to go overboard with this install, yet do a decent enough job with...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what happened to chrisflex ? I haven't heard from him for more than 2 weeks now - last message from him to me was on 20 March 2022 on Whatsapp. I sent him a message last night via Whatsapp and it hasn't been delivered up to this point - which is highly unusual...

Hi Everyone, looks like its not largely known or advertised that we do have a handy FREE signup national service specifically in order to let you optout on a selection or all Direct Marketing sectors. I signed up to opt out on ALL Direct Marketing services 7+ years ago and can vouch that it...

I looked online to find a suitable power cord connector system with male/female that could work for any of my power tools. I have one Festool power tool with its own proprietary ?Plug-it? quick change system, but that would not work on other branded tools and anyway even if it could, the cost...

Hi guys (and girls), our current main TV we bought way back in 2008. Its a 42" Philips Plasma TV with Ambi-Light, etc. Its a great TV and it basically has a sound-bar built-in which has served us well over the past 13 years. I tried to upgrade to a 55" Samsung UHD curved Smart TV. Still have...

Ok I was wondering, say you had somehow gotten yourself into a situation where you had to order your ?last meal? and you could order anything and not worry about your arteries and what your doctor said the last time you went for that uncomfortable checkup. What would you order? (Mods, please...

I recently bought a Bel Canto DAC3 with the Underwood Level 2 mods as implemented by PartsConnexion.com Not finding any pictures on the web of the actual work performed, I thought to add some photos here for posterity and I?m sure there will be other interested parties all over the world that...

Holy crap, I discovered ants inside my Bel Canto DAC3vb last night. I saw something wrong in the small display and on closer inspection saw its some ants walking on the back of the display 'glass'. Ok, I figured, maybe there are just a few looking around in there, but still need to open it up...

OK, I have just received an Audio Specrum LED Display kit, compliments of Ebay. I also bought a spare E-One faceplate from Hi-Phibian albeit in anodized black. I like LED?s so I thought I?d try my hand at making a suitable enclosure that will resemble a Bel Canto E-One component, housing the...

Hi y?all, my pet peave is when people advertise stuff to sell on say for eg Gumtree and then when I reply to their ad, or phone them, or Whatsapp them, or sms them - I simply don?t get a reply. WTF? and these are long time Gumtree users, some of them dating back to April 2008 which was the 1st...

Selling all my normal hifi kit - and I was so happy with it before. Thanks to my relatively recent introduction to the OB concept as well as balanced mode radiators, I have completely lost my appetite for what I have believed in up to now to be very nice HiFi kit. And yes, I was very content...

Hi Everyone, please help. A friend of mine is moving house and needs to scale down. He would like to sell the following, all in very good condition, no original boxes however and the remote has been de-gunked (these all went sticky afer a few years, even without any use). Manuals are somewhere...

Hi y?all, I have had a few boomboxes through the years since around 1980, but have never really had one that I wanted to keep, if you know what I mean. Some of you may already know that I have been playing with battery operated amplifiers too, so this idea of a decent boombox/ghettoblaster...
