Spotted a Nintendo n64 and 20 games on the local free cycle site, testing this weekend

Hmm, I just realized I've never owned a video game, or had any real interest in them.

Looking forward to see the 'project' begin

Here you go, I doubt there will be much interest.

I thought it was just me. I have bought an Xbox controller for the first time in my life as it drives my CNC plasma. Never used the Xbox end though, or any other for that matter

Picked this up for a quid at a boot sale this morning with absolutely no need for it. I think it's a Record. Has "Made in England" on the back. All free moving too. Couldn't leave it behind at that price.

Lucky boy, if you fancy parting with any of it, I'll happily be a vulture for some more stuff.

Question is... does it have the important game?

Golden Eye, the best game on the N64 in my view

I paid £350 for a slightly tatty 1990 white and blue GSX-R 750 Slingshot. I am out of touch with bikes since I sold my 1998 R1 ten years ago; other than a hole in the petrol tank it looks ok. Not sure what to do with it yet though!

sorry no photos yet!

A massive bargain! Does it run?
The carbs on GSXR's can be a real PITA though.

About a ton, it's in as new condition. The thing that's making me dither is that I had a look at a new one in MC Mart ages ago and wasn't impressed at how much play was on the cross slide. Are they badged by Clark?

We were idly playing with one in Machine Mart which felt as though it had just been assembled for display, they are probably much better if actually adjusted correctly.

Got myself a Master 2500 Lathe Thanks for all your help loading @MattH Nice to meet you too, you have quite the setup! I’ll probably do a thread so I can rack all your brains on a few (loads) of bits and show how I managed to get it out the van
