Cameo Vivus!!!


Mozart

Recommended Posts

So I decided to try a little experiment this afternoon with cutting some tape on my Silhouette: pressed the power button....nothing. Repeat, same result. Check connections.....nope....dead as a dodo. Fuse? Checked, replaced twice.....still nada. I took the end section off to look for broken wires but quickly put it back on again, circuit boards and lord knows what else but all beyond my ken. So I’m looking at forking out £350 for a Cameo 4 I guess. I’ve emailed a firm in the UK that sells cutters but I don’t hold out a lot of hope. Can’t go too long without one, jobs to do!

It’s quite ironic really, I bought the Silhouette originally because I usually model specific and individual aircraft so the supplied decals always needed to be adapted, and also because I just don’t like using decals full stop! But the ones that were issued with the Echelon Lightning kit some 15 to 20 years ago are so good still that I’m contemplating using them instead of the masks I’ve prepared to date. With no cutter I can’t do the serial number so I’ll see how the wing roundels go down.

  • Mozart changed the title to Cameo Vivus!!!

Well here's some good news.....my Cameo 2 has risen phoenix-like from the ashes!  A friend who knows about these things suspected it could have been the ac-dc converter that was at fault so he tested it, and sure enough that was it.  So a new converter costs £15.00.......the Cameo 4 is cancelled. 😁
