wiring a nortek light.

[jarndice]

I have just bought from FORGEBEAR a NORTEK light for my HENG LONG PANZER 4, I should like to know where on the TAIGEN 2.4 board it fits? I shall be fitting a HENG LONG plug on the end so it will fit on the board, I assume I have to remove the plug for the headlights and use that socket but I need someone who knows to tell me whether I am right or wrong. . shaun

Hey Shaun it is the same as the headlight. Just make sure you have the right resistors hook up to it. I have both on my Stug III (Too lazy to remove the headlight) and use a little switch to switch between the two......

No, he doesn't. He has a Crackberry!

Alright Dean humour an ignorant Englishman, what is a CRACKBERRY ?And please tell me it has nothing to do with crystal meth. shaun

It is a blackberry mobile phone/message device that is virtually hack proof. It is made here in Waterloo. (we are twin cities Kitchener Waterloo) Many military (including U.S.) fire, police, large corporations use them because of their outstanding security. It was the big boy on the market till Apple and Android caught up and basically killed them. Google it and you will see lots about it's history.

People who have them including Obama rapidly become addicted to using them 24/7. I know, I worked for a company from Atlanta and they would message me at all hours so the joke was it was like crack for us. I even took the damn thing to bed with me in case it was something urgent. About 6 years ago I threw it out the window while travelling on a major highway here after the 6 millionth frustrating call that day.
Have not had a phone since and I like it!

Thank you for the explanation, I know very little about mobile phones, my lady and my daughters have them, but being available 24 hours a day is my idea of purgatory so I am happily without one. take care. shaun

For the record I don't actually sleep much.......... I do put down my Blackberry at night but I am also home office which doesn't help at all.
