I wrote a reply on here a few days ago and somehow managed to delete it!

Anyhow, Here's a couple of bits I pulled out of our scrap bins at work!, They're segregated in to general waste (Never seen a waste General in it though!!) Paper and card, Plastics etc but there's a bin for electrical waste, Seems I always get lucky with this bin!

I found a 45 minute charger and two 18v Li on batteries that were almost fully charged (Found out maintenance had run over the drill with the fork truck!!), I looked online at what drill fitted them and won one on fleabay!, I put a £20 bid on (99p opening bid) and in the last seconds I was outbit, I then instantly got a message from the seller saying the winner had backed out and I could have it for my max bid!

Most blatant shill bidding ever!

I had it then found a case for £8, It's honestly the best cordless drill i've ever had!

I also found this Bosch drill that had been binned by a contractor, Tried it out before I brought it home and there's not a thing wrong with it!!!

It came with a handgrip on the forend, I removed it and forgot to put it back..

Had hundreds of HSS twist drills that were binned too, A few needed re grinding but most were lovely and sharp!

Many violence! Many dead bearing!

No broken rollers, against all the odds. Life got easier when I notice the assemblies similarity to a slide hammer...

Boil them up in citric acid then hot oil and grease, they will be ok.

Is that some floor I can see?

No they wont, and no it isn't.

Oh well, we can hope.

2 quid a piece for replacements so not messing about with them.

I meant the floor.

I now have a pamphlet and price list for The Machine. In 1969 the bits I have here would have cost within a chippy tea of a Hillman Super Minx. Wonder if anyone wants to swap...

I give a chippy tea, with mushy peas for it.

From the van, in news paper.

May be some scraps and a pair of floury baps.

 

[Chillitt]

I thought this might make it a bit easier to use. I might be proven wrong about that...

@Chillitt

[brightspark]

I've been single too long. Everything sounds like a double entendre.

As the chances of getting spares for it seem quite remote, and the bottom pulley is going to need a new outer welding to it, I suspect you are right.

Reading this without being able to see the picture .. can any of the parts be 3D printed in ABS etc ? It seems we have some very capable guys on the site who can do amazing things with a 3 D printer & a decent CAD to print programme .
