Hitachi Air Compressor EC2510E 2007: Hitachi EC2510E stalls motor when pump reengages

Fri, 22 May 2026 18:56:46 -0700

Compressor starts good. It builds pressure and reduces pump and motor, but when pump reengages, it stalls the motor. I have replaced unloader valve.

FixHub Portable Soldering Station: Intermittent "Tool Error: Sensor Disconnect" (Error #5) during heating - FixHub SLD101

Fri, 22 May 2026 05:54:46 -0700

I'm experiencing an intermittent "Tool Error: Sensor Disconnect" (Error Code #5) on my FixHub Portable Soldering Station during the heating phase.

Symptoms:

- While heating, the error flashes for ~1 second, the temperature display drops a few degrees, then heating resumes. This cycles repeatedly.

- Using firmware 1.5.0 on both Hub and Iron.

- Tip is a 1.5 Bevel.

Troubleshooting already performed:

- Verified tip is fully seated (clicked in, aligned below the surface).

- Cleaned 3.5mm contacts and internal handle springs with IPA.

- Disassembled the iron handle; internal soldering points for the socket are secure and show no signs of failure.

- Measured tip resistance at ~3 ohms at room temperature.

- Tested both front USB-C ports with the original cable (same result).

- Tested with third-party 100W cables (MacBook/IKEA), which resulted in Error #11 (No Data), confirming the hub requires the specific data lines of the original cable.

The intermittent nature suggests a thermal expansion break inside the tip's sensor circuit. Are there any known issues with this behavior or specific tests I can run to verify if it's the tip vs. the iron handle's internal logic?

Generator: replacement automatic voltage regulator

Sun, 17 May 2026 12:09:07 -0700

I'm resurrecting an old Powermate 5000 Model PC0545305.01 with an obsolete & malfunctioning AVR (ICM AB3101-240). ICM weren't any help. This units AVR specs apparently has 240 VAC sensing and 25 VDC output to the brushes. I connected two 12 VDC batteries to the brushes to confirm proper output VAC. Can anyone identify a source for an AVR with the necessary specs?

Ridgid Miter Saw MS255SR 2012: Looking for the dust collector coming off of the blade.

Fri, 15 May 2026 13:20:29 -0700

It is the device having 3 screws which holds it in place. Left side has a fixed piece about 3" long, and on the right side has an additional piece the same length where the screws attach to it. The bottom has a flexible rubber piece acting as a scoop. Ridgid has no information any longer and cannot give me a model # for it.

any idea as to where I may be able to purchase it?
