John H. ----------------------------------- Nope. On the "banned" list. Only 1911 types permitted are Ruger, Remington and S&W. Now *that* makes no sense whatsoever. I wonder what difference in the Kimber vs the Remington 1911 types cause the addition of the Kimber to the banned list. John H. --------------------------------------------- It's a complex issue in this state. Approval is required by two different state agencies, one being a state safety testing lab and the other being the state Attorney General's office. To be approved every model by every manufacturer has to be approved by both. Capacity, gun design (safety features, etc.) must all meet certain criteria, including drop tests and other destructive testing. In order to get approval the manufacturer must submit a number of guns of each model (I think it's five each) to the state for destructive testing. Then, when that's all over, the AG's office gets involved and their determination is far more subjective. As a result, many manufacturers have basically told Massachusetts to shove it and don't bother even trying to get their products approved. Non approved firearms built before a certain year (I think it is 1998) are grandfathered however the gun must have been originally sold and remained in the state. If I were the guy at Kimber, I'd tell MA to shove it also. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

"John H" wrote in message .. . We've only one time had an electrical issue at a campground. We blew the 30 amp circuit breaker at the electric post. All was well with the air, coffeepot, water heater, fireplace (which my wife leaves on for looks way too much), lights, refrigerator, etc, and then my wife plugged in her hair dryer - oh, and I think I had something in the microwave. The trailer circuit breaker handled the load, but we were plugged into 30 amps outside. That one didn't. Don't know if the Autoformer would have helped then or not. How does it boost the voltage? John H. ------------------------------------------------- No, the Autoformer wouldn't help in that situation. You simply overloaded the circuit breaker and it tripped, just like it's supposed to. You are probably going to ask why the main 30 amp breaker in your trailer didn't trip also. It's because they are basically in series and the one with the most sensitive trip setting trips first. In your case it was the outside breaker. Once it tripped, no power is on your trailer breaker, so it didn't trip. That is not the purpose of an Autoformer. Here's a simple example of it's purpose. I am going to ignore pertinent AC electrical load laws regarding voltage leads current, etc. Assume your AC unit compressor kicks on but your supply voltage (commercial power) has drooped to something less than the typical 118 - 120 vac. It still takes the same amount of power (watts) for the compressor to turn on without it straining. Power is voltage times current. If the voltage drops, current draw must go up to produce the same power. When you factor in the other "ignored" AC load issues, the result is the compressor motor drawing excessive current which can burn up the windings. The Autoformer prevents this by boosting the supplied voltage. An Autoformer is simply a type of buck/boost type transformer with a logic circuit in it that determines the supplied voltage. If it drops below a certain value (117 vac) it electrically connects the primary of the transformer to windings that boost the output voltage by 10 percent. When supplied voltage exceeds 118 vac, it returns to the normal windings automatically. Thanks for the explanation. The trailer circuit breaker is 50 amps, which is one of the reasons I was perplexed when everything blew. Glad to see your comment about the Honda EU2000. That's next on the Christmas list - or maybe much sooner. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

I was going through some storage boxes and came across a Hughes 30 amp "Autoformer" that I used for about 3 months when we had the motorhome in Florida. *For those not familiar with these, *it automatically boosts the voltage supplied to your camper, trailer or other RV by 10% whenever commercial power drops below 117 volts. *It protects the electrical system and appliances like microwaves and air conditioning units from damage due to brown outs and voltage drops commonly found at commercial campsites. * When the commercial power rises above 118 volts, the unit automatically detects it and removes the 10 percent voltage boost. *It also protects against voltage spikes and detects open grounds. I held onto it because I thought it might be useful someday for a boat slip, but I really don't need it anymore and decided to stick it on eBay. * This is the single stage version *(10 percent boost) that currently sells new for about $389. *There is a newer version (3 stage) that has multiple boost levels and sells for just under $500. Frankly, I don't know why you'd need multiple boosts because the single stage does the job just fine. Anyway, *I put it on eBay with an opening bid of $175 plus $50 for shipping. * If any of you rec.boats types want it, *I'll sell it to you for $100 plus the $50 for shipping (unless you want to pick it up). *Also ... I'll only ship to US CONUS addresses. *Sorry Canada. If interested, don't delay. * Once a bid is submitted on eBay, *I am obligated to sell it there. * If someone wants it here and lets me know before any bids are submitted on eBay, *I will end the auction early. * Here's the eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281120008580?item=281120008580&viewitem=&sspa... Florida, huh.....Did you hang out with Krause? Its all coming together now. The reason you keep replying to Krauses posts....you've hung out with him as his " buddie " I wouldn't buy a inch long pc of thread from you, cocksucker.....sorry USA....that you have this douchebag idiot within your boundaries. |

The price is right. ----------------------------------- Yeah, I thought about you but figured your behemoth was 50 amp. Everybody is sellin' something here. I'm thinking of putting my custom CZ75 SP01 Shadow 9 mm semi auto pistol up for sale. The current model new is $1350+. I'm trying to decide whether I really want to sell it, and for how much. It is the most accurate and smoothest operating semi auto I've ever handled. NO ONE CARES, ****TARD. |
