Instagram feed… some video clips and random shed shenanigans

Jammy Dodger

#numatic #henryhoover with a repaired, not replaced switch. Anyone else enjoy cleaning electrical contacts? No, just me then.

The legendary #kawasaki #saxaboom this one needed new battery contacts. Strangely addictive tunes!

Displays on some #Pure #radios can be changed if they fail. The colour of the replacement display is 'bluer' but who cares- it looks great and works well.

Before and after pictures - classic #honda #hondacivic badge restoration. Not perfect, but pretty bloody good. Hours of enamel application.

A Kenwood a532 anyone. One for the super nerds (me then). This rareish Kenwood food processor based loosely on the 901e series had a smoking and chaffing of the best issue. Nasty. I made it work again by carefully researching components and a little trial and error. #Kenwood #magic #geekfest

Been a while since I posted anything (got instabored I think) so thought I'd share a picture of a kitchenaid coffee machine repair ongoing. #kitchenaid #saturdaynight #repair

A couple of (toy) trains on the bench tonight. One word - fiddly. Corrosion, poor condition connectors etc. One train arrived in pieces, so a 3d puzzle to solve too. Tea needed. #thomasthetankengine #toytrains #fixed #tea @philchapmantoyman

Don't cry, baby! A slightly scary toy baby doll has its head detached and rejoined, with all tear ducts cleaned. What a slightly strange repair. #spooky #repairs #doll #toy

Lunchtime fun! Stripping down a #1980s #Panasonic radio/ cassette player. Light #restoration planned. #repairs

#tomy #kongman repaired. I'm done for tonight. Too many cogs and levers- brain's had enough. #knackered. Quite lucky that I had a spare 10 toothed pinion kicking about, as you do. Bit of cleaning, soldering, gearbox work, fixed. #1980s #retrotoys

A #Brio train with a new first motion gear, anyone?! Quite proud of this little fix. All aboard! #toyrepairs #toy @philchapmantoyman

Who remembers these Brio toy trains? A regular customer brought these 2 in and I decided to start the repairs during cheese toastie time. Poor contacts and copious hair in one and a cracked gear in the other. Sourcing a new gear now! @brio_toysg #trainset @philchapmantoyman @menditaussie @restartproject

Interesting to look at? Er, not really. But this little grub screw modification saved the owner £20. My favourite kind of repair. #nospareparts #repairs @menditaussie @kenwoodenchef

A bit of visible mending... Not an invisible fix, but it means that I can go on wearing my much loved t-shirt. @menditaussie @vickimostlysews #sewing #visiblemending I'd forgotten how much I enjoy sewing.

Will it ever work again? My old MHC 650 Sony music system, purchased as a teenager. Needs new tape belts and a little soldering. New parts on order. #repair #Sony

Quite possibly my dullest post to date? Check the length of your motor brushes when checking your hoover motors. Caught this one in time. Cheap fix. #repair #henryhoover

These HVR200 Henry vacuums have a tough job. They're an essential tool for @andymarlow for his decorating business. But rather than replace every year, he looks after his vacuums by getting them overhauled and cleaned regularly. This is cheaper in the long run, is less wasteful. Trusty friends. @myhenryuk #repair #maintenance

I think Mr Robot on a Skateboard looks good on the back of my car. Much needed cool. #renaultclio @lastborndaughter

A little lunchtime luminescence fun with this repaired Moroccan lamp. Quite literally, brilliant! #repairs #lamprepair #worthing

Full marks to #hp for allowing access into their power units. My own HP deskjet #printer power unit died after 15 years (not bad service) but I was able to locate the faulty diode and replace it. #repair #ewaste #gooddesign #sustainable @restartproject

Nice to receive a video from a happy customer! Kenwood A701 working well once again after a visit, now doing what it should be doing. Note glass bowl! #kenwood #chef #kenwoodrepair #fixed #restoration #mend #cake @menditaussie @kenwoodenchef @kenwoodworld @fixitclinic @fixedbydave @insidemagazines @uptone.co.uk #worthing😍

Apple clearly don't want owners repairing their broken power units. But, we don't give up that easily. I was able to fix this one using a pattern lead replacement and some careful disassembly. Can Apple do more to help owners care for their devices? You bet. @menditaussie @philchapmantoyman @insidemagazines #repair #apple #fixed #worthing @i_tech.center.worthing

Some Chef cleaning shots from back in the summer... removing toffee-like grease from a gearbox and a spot of polishing in the garden. @menditaussie @kenwoodenchef @restartproject Getting old stuff like this working again, is often a mucky business. #repair #worthing #fix #A701 #kenwoodchef #bakeoff

I don't normally take photos at customer handover time, but this one was special. My customer had an emotional connection with the lamp and was very glad to have it back, working again... one for the blog, eventually. @vickimostlysews @thegoodstitchgoring @menditaussie @mending_neko #restoration #sussex #worthing #repair #sustainable #antique has anyone else got one of these lamps?😃

At last, here are some of the photos I took during the yacht/ boat restoration. I did the electrical stuff, while @vickimostlysews @thegoodstitchgoring did the needle work to the new replacement sail material. I think you'll agree that Vicki did a good job. @menditaussie @lastborndaughter @drewpritchardantiques @mending_neko #restoration #lamp #worthing #sussex #boat #yacht #repair #sussex 😍

OK, its not perfect, but #squishy #ninja #fox is looking a bit more presentable now. It's not a 'total' repair, but the work has bought it more time. @philchapmantoyman @sillysquishies #repair @gorillaglueuk #pva #worthing #sussex #toyrepairs

A slightly disturbing repair going on here to a #squashies #squashy #toy ... Head and ears had come adrift after some over exuberant playtime. Out with the glues, paint brushes and masking tape then. This toy did literally just avoid the bin. #dontthrowitaway #recycling #repair #worthing #toyrepairs @philchapmantoyman @lastborndaughter @menditaussie @vickimostlysews @sillysquishies @squishies.collective @squishies.love.shop @anboordirect

I don't normally dabble with microwaves, but my mum's old microwave's turntable stopped going round. A hideous design as far as repair is concerned, but the machine did use a lovely little stepper motor, which just needed a little glue and a clean. Fixed for nothing. #repair #worthing @menditaussie @r2reurope @restartproject #motor @kenwoodenchef
