Originally posted by Digitalis Temps in my house while unoccupied can reach 40+ in the hot dry summers here in Australia. Humidity is the biggest risk factor with fungus along with a viable food source (dust) within the lenses, presence of an existing colony in one lens will mean that ALL lenses held in an enclosed space are suspect. In my experience, lenses with radioactive elements in them seem to be weirdly resistant to fungal attack.
Horrey.... another point for those active lenses which can be used to listen to radio....
Originally posted by Digitalis I have come across this in my PC builds too. These days I usually replace it with perforated neoprene insulation as it is capable of forming a seal against dust and is more chemically stable than the cheap polyester foam.
Good to know! I will try that.
My "Big Tower" slides into a special wooden cabinet. To its sides it has 1cm thick felt which does the damping quite well. On the front 0,9cm wood
to hide it. So the felt is this 1mm thicker and thus has a good "touch" to the tower.
One of my sons travelled Australia for almost a year. He came across your weather, but luckily it is dry. Well... luck is relative, we now have the risk of fires now as well due to lack of rain. I use strong rescue-blankets covering the windows shielding the sun with the aluminium side away. Works well.
