Because here in North America, we like living on the edge. Let's go low voltage and high current products as they are really safe!! :roll:

The HZ difference is the killer for me when moving from the UK to Canada. The Voltage issue was easy to deal with as there are plenty off voltage converters around, it is the cycles that is the issue for products that need that for timing stuff like my turntable. Eventually I had to bite the bullet and have the whole motor swapped out on my Thorens deck.

Now that we are talking about the btcc 850 can one of you tell me the trick to convert to mono washer arm AND have it placed upwards in the windscreen? I can't see it's necessary to cut anything. I would just uninstall the arm on the wiper motor (screenshot attached), turn it 90 degrees right and install it again. Finally install the washer arm center of the windscreen.
Maybe there is a forum in here for that specifically :wink: I just haven't been able to find it..
Pictures attached

Melvin maybe you will ask your father? :D

Dear forum members! Unfortunately, we have not found any information about this EPROM chip from SAM. I have the same one, but it is marked 94116 TM2. For many years, I have been unable to find any information about this chip online.
