Positive on two CE2. Negative on one dual-coil. And I can't figure out how to identify batch numbers or anything on these things. -Magnus

This is one of the most Disturbing things I have ever read on the ECF.

Is there a possibility that you could be receiving a false positive result?

I'm toddler bound. There is about a dozen ways this could go wrong. For example, what if my test produces a false positive because of residual fluids? Or the tanks they were interested in? Which is why I mentioned FUD before. I'll put her down early, give me thirty minutes. Then I'll try this is a more controlled way. -Magnus

This is something to not leave to doubt......this needs to be verified.

agreed .......


pm sent to br - he must have taken dozens apart to mod, almost positive he would have noticed. let's wait and see what magnus' more controlled test shows ...

wonder why there was no follow-up, lol

a promise to test and report back and then nothing .....

The last post in that thread was made today - I believe the person who said he was going to test it said he was going to do it tomorrow on Monday ;)

Edit: Don't listen to me - I'm silly :D

That last post was two months ago.... not today. But earlier in the thread somebody said they were fine.

I called the emergency sitter and she is over here to put Ceridwen to bed while I goto Lowe's to get more tests. I used my last one on a third CE2, one that is brand new fat-wick, never used... NEGATIVE. I've got a bunch of CE2 so I'm going to sort through them and test as many as I think I can afford to break.

I will get this done ASAP tonight and post back here.... promise. ;-) -Magnus

Dude/Dudette : That last post was 2 months ago............then nothing! tiburonfirst is correct.

It's hard to tell.
I use PB free solder and also leaded solder on rare occasion (real careful to wash up after too). Anyway, I know that many atties and such have been tested before and were negative. I'd be real surprised that they would actually use leaded solder, but who knows. Could be a mistake in a particular batch? magnus is correct about possible false positives too, so more study is needed. Still very worrying.

EDIT: everyone's posting at the same time...lol. GO MAGNUS!
