Title: has this ever happened to you? oxycon mystery
Post by: turquoise on June 22, 2008, 03:39:04 PM
HI I was just in full flow of making a rather yummy bead when all of a sudden the oxycon switched off.  I look around and the red light was on, no sound at all. So I popped the bead in the kiln turned the torch off and came on here, also noticed the computer had gone off.

We do not have a power cut though!!! and the oxycon and computer run off different sockets.

Shall I put the oxycon back on and see what happens???????????????????? HELP no technical people in the house and I do not have a clue. ??? ??? :o :o >:(

Was it a very quick power cut where maybe the power just flicked off for an instant?  Do you have lights on in your studio so you'd notice if they flickered?  Sounds very strange... Maybe it's a gremlin.

We've had high winds, horizontal rain and flickering power today. My computer switched off during one of the flickers - have only just dared to switch it back on! I'd say it could well have been a quick power break. Good luck!!!
