I agree again John...Especially Emma
Ahh, made me double check my quote.I agree again John...Especially Emma
Martin, you must be daydreaming about vinyl tape.
I found it in my gallery app, but I wouldn't be surprised if it depends on the android version. In mine I hit Edit, then menu, then Export, and then it lets you save the image with a new size.there ya go
can it resize images as well ?
Erm, CD! Spandua Ballet was vinyl and tape! I got them all...
That's what I love about this forum!

yup, and I will be the first to admit, I don't know it all ... hahahaha
A blatant digression from the subject of tape splices.
Lol
Lol
All the same as in we all have eyes and hands. I'm still working on the beginners books for electronics!
I'm actually looking into getting my first oscilloscope soon, and I'll probably be searching this forum for relevent information.Well Emma is definitely more interesting!..Or at least was 20 years ago!
But don't feel bad John. Your great big crimps work fine! job done.. And good job too.

I apologize for Martin. He has not moved on from the Spice Girls if the 90s.
He seems to know a little too much about them.
Lol......Say no more...... Beats heavy duty crimps though!!
Haha! Anything from the 90's is OLD by now.
What kind of wire gauge do you guys think is proper for 12v at 2,500 watts at about 8' of length? I found this chart here: http://www.sunforceproducts.com/Sup...harge Controllers/WireGaugeSelectionTable.pdf, but I can't imagine using such thick wires inside the tractor! It makes me wonder if maybe the heater isn't actually 2,500 watts.

I agree.
Can you give us the individual ohm readings of each element?

Just a guess here, but I think this is a 300w heater. If that's the case, 12awg would work, but I'd go with #10 thhn, thwn or similar 90c rated insulation.
At any rate, you know it doesn't have to be larger than the incoming feed.

You agree about celebrities from the 90s being old? Or about the wattage? Or maybe BOTH?
I will if/when I open it. I just realized that the unit is closed with rivets instead of screws, so that'll slow me down some.
But I found some more information from the manufacturer of the heater. I'm pretty sure the model I have has these specs (the manufacturer's page doesn't list anything else): 12V ELECTRIC HEATER WARMER 1,400 BTU
And then I found this page that has a very-similar-looking heater, except that it has 4 heating rods instead of 3: http://dcthermal.com/catalog/sa12-2000 . That's the weakest heater made by that company (listed as 220 watts at 12 volts), yet it has 3674 BTU’s. So I think we can assume that the wattage of the heater I'm working on is lower.
If this heater really is using less power than 220 watts, then how much does that change of our above discussion? Maybe regular wire-nut connections would be fine here? Maybe this power didn't burn up the old silicone connector?
I can test how much current it's drawing once I get it hooked up to a power source, but I'm not at that stage yet because I have to pull some junk out of the insides of the heater, like a wasp's nest.
