![]() Redline reproductions can still be found on the pegs to this day. Secondly, you have to make sure that they are not the reproduction Redlines that we produced years after in the nineties in celebration of the original line. You say to yourself, “I’d like to sell my old Hot Wheels, but how do I tell if they are the true REDLINE Hot Wheels?” So, here’s how you tell:įirst and foremost, you look for the thin “Red Line” around the outside of each of the tires where a whitewall would normally be expressed. Hot Wheels just blew away the competition, Matchbox, and as they say, the REST IS HISTORY! They were an instant hit with their California Custom designs, Spectraflame Paint, Cool packaging, and the most innovative accessories for any toy line at the time and still to this day, in my opinion. ![]() □ They were produced for the following ten years, until 1977 and also switched from the shiny Spectraflame to the Enamel paint for the most part in 1973. I think they timed it just perfectly for my 8th birthday celebration in July. Hot Wheels were first released by the Mattel corporation in the summer of 1968 June ’68 to be more accurate. You will get an argument from some hardcore mainliners, but for the most part, these puppies are what every Hot Wheels collector truly dreams about. REDLINE Hot Wheels are considered the most desirable of all the Hot Wheels, but also the most expensive across the board. Now you ask yourself the question: “What are these very cool toy cars?”Ĭhances are that, if the Hot Wheels Gods are shining down upon you, they are what we call in the hobby, “REDLINE Hot Wheels” and you may have just hit the motherlode! “But how do I tell if they truly are the Holy Grail of Hot Wheels?” Well, it’s kinda sorta simple looking at it from 40,000 feet. You’ve probably just either, A) Cleaned out your attic B) Straightened up your basement: C) Been handed a box of old toys from an older relative OR D) Come across some really cool and old Hot Wheels at a Yard Sale/Garage Sale/Flea Market.

We have a full library of videos that can help you repair and maintain your RV electrical systems, including a distribution center overview that gives you a quick rundown of the center. Once you’ve gone through the process of RV power converter troubleshooting and know where the issue lies in your RV’s power problem, you can begin to address it. And lo and behold, the kitchen outlet that feeds the microwave isn’t working either! So we know that these outlets are ganged, and we might have found our problem. He ensures that it isn’t working before tripping it. On this example RV, there’s a GFCI circuit located in the bathroom. Should this be the case for your appliance, he recommends testing whether other circuits are connected. He says that most outlets located near water sources are ganged to a ground fault circuit interrupter. Next, Dave inspects power in the microwave. You can verify this by checking the status of other 110v outlets. If power is flowing, the issue could be in the appliance itself. In Dave’s case, he has removed the refrigerator from its cavity to check for power at connection points and in the wiring. If all is good in the center, you should go to the appliance(s) giving you trouble. ![]() Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure 110 volts are coursing in the circuit breakers by removing the panel and clamping onto a ground surface. Starting at the Centerįirst things first, when you notice that an appliance or multiple appliances aren’t working, you should check that power is indeed reaching the distribution center. Tracking down the power through the RV will tell you exactly where the problem resides, which may save you hundreds of dollars in bills from needless repair visits. This video shows commonsense tips for tracking down electrical problems, including checking GFCI outlets that might trip in one room and affect the appliances they’re ganged with in another. Specialized testers are important in checking circuits, and Dave shows you how to safely ground these testers to avoid sparking and shocks. You’ll learn simple methods for checking circuit breakers inside and out by using non-contact voltage testers. In this video, RV maintenance and repair expert Dave Solberg walks you through the process of RV distribution center troubleshooting. Doing the diagnosing and repair on your own can eliminate expensive repair visits, ferreting out small problems you can fix yourself. The problem could even be at the source in the campground or storage facility. RV distribution center troubleshooting can show whether the electrical problem is in the wiring, the outlet, or the circuit breakers, which service the electrical system that feeds into your appliance. Using common sense RV troubleshooting methods can narrow down the possibilities, helping you to figure out exactly what kind of repairs you need. Many times it’s the power system that’s broken down somewhere between the source and the appliance. When your RV appliances aren’t working, it’s not always right to assume the appliance itself is broken. Finding out why your refrigerator won’t stay cold or your microwave won’t heat is crucial for having a happy trip. Cruising the open road in your rig can give you a sense of freedom, but when your necessary appliances stop working, that freedom can be tainted by the hassle of fixing them. ![]() There is no need of a priest as an intermediary.
