That would be truly appreciated ! Those meters spun freely for many years, what a great bearing set up. Manchester West Electricity Board ? We had one on our house until last year...told the electric company we didn't want a Smart meter and even explained in writing that I have electrosensitivity issues (many poo poo it, but i feel queasy around strong electromagnetics, neodymiums, wi-fi, get static shocks off car doors very readily and somehow sense lightning before nearby strikes lol). Also, this meter is banned in California, because of the 3W output, the limit being 1W. There were concerns and at least questions. Anyway, my wife or I are in the house 24/7 nearly all the time. We both went out one day in the car and came back to find a new Smart meter on the wall ! Sleep was affected, is affected, it sits right outside the bedroom wall.

Dancing toy coil removal - a mini How-To
Many people have trouble with removing the coils on the Dollar Tree dancing items. The problem, is that a decent glue holds the coil to the plastic base - see pic. The wires snap readily with even careful removal. Some people therefore cut around the coils with a knife or scissors. Today, I found that a coil broke with the usual careful removal of bending the plastics down, while lifting the coil upward. The glue is stronger ! Here's the fix. Firstly, desolder the circuitboard and solar panel, leaving just the coil attached to the base. The glue they are using is a version of hotglue, it melts again with a decent amount of applied heat. If you have a hotplate or electric cooker, switch on a ring to the highest heat. Bring the bottom of the base to around 1" (couple of centimetres) to the hotplate and wait until the plastics begin to deform. Remove from the heat and gently bend the plastics away from the coil. Repeat if necessary, until the glue can be seen to be melting away from the coil. Remove the coil.
