It is very common for photos taken on smartphones or tablets to appear sideways or upside down on forums/social media/eBay etc. I won't bother with the technical reasons for this but it is a consequen...

I am a bit embarassed - I went a bit mad in the last month. Wallet taken a serious hit - so will be the last for a while. A friend phoned and asked me if I wanted these as he has sold them to someon...

It shouldn't be a disaster, but if the connection is stressed at all, you might lose contact. I'd expect a nice, straight connection in the oval and no problems there. It does look like the 'short' r...

Thanks for the reminder about the track photos - that's a good size track, about 5ft longer than the track I set up at home. I don't need to use jumpers on mine. I think you've narrowed down the issu...
