Hi Brian, Yes, on eBay, 99% are not original and 80% are bad repros. But many of the official vendors of these tools are offering so so repros, as...
Thanks Sam (Ohm would be your family name?). Agree on all, I felt easier to use the clamp instead of connecting a serial circuit for the Ammeter...
Thanks Brian for these pictures. it confirms that the grease gun was Nickel plated, here of course oxidized greyish. BTW, I am still looking for...
Dear Sam, I agree with you that 60C is too high even if there is no more risk of fire/fuse melting. I had measured the amperage with my ammeter...
Dear Sam and other contributors, I come back just to tell that I changed the 3 fuse blocks of the BBi for the Birdman 308’s ones (for glass...
Dear Chris, Thanks a lot for your feedback. Upon your reco, I will have all the grease gun components plated by an electrolysis workshop for best...

Hello, I come back on this thread about the 512BBi's tool bag pouch leather strap. I have a 512BBI, year 82, with the soft tool bag pouch. The car...
Thanks
Thans to contributors for their reminder of Ohm's Law. Indeed, as Sam outlines, true ceramic fuses may hide, by resisting better to heat,...
Dear Sam, Indeed, I will add voltage drop survey to amperage one. I had a look to your melted fuse block!! My goodness... For mine, since new, it...
Hi, To the attention of Sherpa23 I incidentally read this thread and see that on Jan 2022 you wrote that there are only #27 512BBI with Zegna...
Dear Sam, thanks for your comprehensive answer, always a pleasure to get practical advising from yourself. As you could see on my 2 previous pics...
Hi Billy, In realty, all fuses cope exactly with 512BBi owner’s manual specs. May be different colors due to different fuse suppliers for same...
