Refitting old models
« on: February 02, 2019, 07:03:22 pm »
This week I have rewired some old models. I have fitted new speed controllers, batteries  new cables and connectors of all types. Just a few picture of the refit of a Robbe Sea Wolf a kit from many moons ago.

Hi Stan
I like your Sea Wolf, I don’t suppose you would want to do some form of exchange for the Robbe F15 that you are taking from me in August
Regards. Ken

Hi Ken I wood like to say yes but it was first and last venture into model submarines. The model means a lot to me so sadly on this occasion I will have to decline your offer. Will make contact later in the year about the PT 15 model.

Hi Stan
As an old telephone technician, that is a good standard and shows pride in your work.
Well done !!!!

Hi Stan
By sheer luck ( maybe), an old V1 came up locally in need of much TLC.  Has a rear seal, but not sure how front is sealed when tightening 3mm nut. Any pics/ description would be most helpful

Hi Ken after you slide
tube over the plate holding the electrics slide a small O Ring along the bolt followed by a washer and then the nut. When you nip up the nut the o ring will compress hope this helps. The o ring needs to be a tight fit on the bolt.
