budahbwoy Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) ah bb, from one bb to another, just wondered if the DIY version you built was following the docs guide here on 420? i built one and it has NEVER failed me, nor made the slightest whisper of a mouse fart at all! parts are available at maplin, and they are lovely chaps down there....mine took an hour or so to build, ad im well pleased with it! check this out http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=1369 hope it helps yer, or maybe im just re-gurgitating old info? oh well, chin up.....and ubnplug EVERYTHING before TINKERING! stay safe fella respect. BB edit: http://www.maplin.co.uk/ check out maplin mail order. they may not have the same relay, so email before hand and they shall give you an alternative, but equally workable one!
