I like that first one, good find

Don't know what the other links are, my ubuntu setup wants some extra plugins to open them, what files are they

I was giving my conies a good clean last night after a period of "no action" and have always found them a pain to clean / sterilize as I have always been concerned about making a good job of the inside of the pick up tube, getting at and rinsing that is :) So I decided to remove the top nut and remove the tube, sealed by an o ring, cleaning was then a simple operation

Don't know why I never tacked it this way before.

They're only mp3 files! Right click and Save them to your drive and you can use VideoLan VLC player or any media player to listen. Or you could put them on your media player/ipod if you have one.

Yeah, I haven't managed to pull out the pickup tube yet. I'm going to be doing that as soon.. does it just pull out once you take the top nut off?

Solved it ! Updated to ubuntu 10.10 a few weeks ago and not played music since, Rhythmbox installs by default but you need to download plugins for Mp3s! now done

. I think they are having trouble getting all the fancy stuff on one CD so some useful stuff has to be downloaded later, not a problem really. I don't have an Ipod, only just got rid of my valve radio :lol:

Just undo the nut and you will see there is a lip on the top of the tube with an o ring under it, the nut just traps this down. You can then poke a wire down with a bit of rag tied to it etc.
I used to fill with sterilizer pressure up, squirt some out, fill with rinse water pressure up squirt some out etc. Lots of liquid or gas needed
