Today I acquired...........

[pcwizme]

A few items gifted to me today.

A friend has stopped by, with Dominoes and things.


More about them in another post, soon.


Last item.

Looks complete. Pump feels good.
The nice bit is the stand off stand.

View attachment 277707

Does that have 2 pot rings on it? and that top section (the stand off stand) does that lock in in some way or just sit on? I presume its to allow the use of smaller pans?

It does, yes.

Getting harder to find a stove with both pot rings now.

I won an Ryobi belt sander on Ebay thinking it was one of the usual Screwfix type products but when I unwrapped it I found a real beast of a tool!

I weights a ton and I was surprised to see made in Japan!

The guy even sent me a note saying I'd got a bargain!
He also put a load of spare sanding belts, a drive belt and some spare brushes!
I'm a happy bunny!

Next on the list are a load of Lin bins I picked up at Screwfix as they were re doing their storage racks and selling these off for charity.
£5 a rack and 3 for £1 for the bins!
I don't actually have anywhere to put them but I couldn't miss a bargain....

I bought a shiney new Mig welder. I actually have a couple - a BOC Smootharc 275 and my late father inlaws 230A Electra Beckum, which doesn't get used, and I should really sell it but am attatched to it since it was his.
I wanted something a bit more portable I could take outside and fix stuff instead of the stick welder blowing holes in things.
It has actually been sitting on the bench waiting for a 15A plug and flux core wire to come through the post (damn Covid lockdown).
Yesterday was the first time I have used flux core - a bit smokey and splattery, but should be handy.

200A supposedly, Mig, Tig, Arc synergic thing complete with a spool gun and connections and regulator for under $NZ1000 incl 15% GST (VAT), or 510 pounds.

Used to use those on the front of a Schumacher CAT race buggy to keep the spring back front end mostly shut. Those who know will know

They get used for lots of things, randomly. @mtt.tr will have seen them as the spring on a lok Jack possibly.

I suppose they’re cheap and easy to source.

Wow that's going back in time!
Black solid dishes wheels and stripped fine toothed belts along with the 27mhz war cry of 'who's on brown'

No2. First one had a faulty volume pot. Replaced with a new Bass

Nicer wood grain on this one as well. Using a VOX Bass headphone amp most of the time.

Anticipation was high today. I saw the delivery via the ring cameras

Early finish today as I'm off for my vaccine.

Couldn't resist opening it up to see if I got a bargain or a real bargain.

I paid 80.

It's definitely got the multi out board which aren't cheap to buy these days but no FX board unfortunately.

Ah well. Some you win.


On the plus side for a device made in 1994 it looks brand new unused.

Hasn't even got rack rash

Manual and original disks included.

Still got my original wheels with the same tyres- still flexible. Got ProCAT wheels with 2.2 tyres on now though.

Never stripped any belts back then, rarely had them clicking. Running an original Wasp orange main belt with original rear belts with brushless power now, but with single piece MMS rear pulley and BossCAT slipper. Removed the front roller clutch drive shafts as I couldn't keep it pointing the right way under braking anymore. Comedic levels of pitch and roll compared to modern buggies. And I still get thrashed by an Optima Mid well driven by a good driver much as I did 30+ years ago

Put an advert out for fly press wanted and this came up.

Not sure who made it as the plate has gone. No idea if it’ll do what I need but can always sell it on I suppose

How do you rotate pictures?!

Last week got some steaks. The second mostly hidden by the packaging. Quite bloody dissapointed, thats 90g of solid fat and a much smalled steak than it should be Edit - Cooked steak 98g, so almost half solid fat.

Edit: and 27g of inedible gristle, so 69g of actual meat.
