Quite looking forward to this now - in a masochistic sort of way

I'm not looking forward to it, Jason says I have to test it first

Does anyone know of a union for cellar workers?

No, but you could try holding a STATIC protest

Just an update..

There were a few on order before the list was started and they've been sent out, was also waiting on more boxes being sent but they've turned up today and i'll get the first few on the list done this evening and sent out tomorrow. I'll see how many I get done and PM those with payment details later.
I should get all those on the list done in the next few days all being well too.

I saw on one of the videos (Breaktru I think) that he was using a resistor to discharge any current left in the cables. How easy would it be to include one in the box. It could have one leg attached to a pole on the top of the box that you could clip the loose cable to when not in use.

I'm not really that up on all this electrickery stuff. Anyone know where they can be bought from. It just mentions 15k resistor on the vid.

I would think you could get one at Maplins

I checked on there and they have a few that have 15k in the title. None look like those in the video though.

I haven't really had time to look into it Steve, but I will at some time look at adding a discharge post or button and maybe an updated version with a LED voltage readout.
I've seen the video of breakthru's last week sometime so don't really remember which res he used but RS should have them if you're wanting to have a go mate. uk.rs-online.com/web/c/passive-components/fixed-resistors/through-hole-fixed-resistors/

Thanks Mev. I quite fancy trying to add one even I just stick it to the top

The bit that is confusing me (easily done) is the W rating on them. This one is 15k, but is marked as 3W. They also do them up to 50W.

15K is probably a bit high I would go with something a bit lower in value. Also a good couple of watts plus in size.

How about this one?

Would look nicer in orange though.

I'm not sure which Breaktru used so I wouldn't like to say off the top of my head mate. I will have another look though.
