@@NoodleLuckIsRealRBLX -- They are metal rings that conductive brushes move across to transmit power to a spinning device so wires do not become twisted. In this case, the rings are in the rotator box, which is why 1003s have taller boxes than 1000/T models.
Sorry to ask, but do you know when the broken solenoid will get fixed? I live in Elgin, NE, not too far from there, and have been by this Thunderbolt 1003A before, but I’ve always watched it on RU-vid and never heard a test in real life. I always check in to see how it’s doing. Thanks for all the updates on this thing! The video was great!
@@clockstudio174collector rings/slip rings same difference, its the brush making intermitent contact with the slip ring for that solenoid because its worn down.
