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

[dobbslc]

Absolute steal! I sold a pair of them years ago, a bit rusty, paint flaking off the body so not the best condition, I think they went for about £120 each!

Yeah I'm well chuffed!
These are a much better pump that the Salamander ones and much quieter too. The one I already have in the bathroom cost me -£12 as I bought 2 at a boot sale and sold one on for double money

 

[James1979]

In part payment for money owed.

better than nothing and I was going to buy a laptop for truck / workshop use anyway.

Pretty impressed with it to be honest. It does all I need and a little bit more

Is that one of those ruggedized jobbies?

Tis

Panasonic Toughbook. The CF-19 one. It’s the model I wanted as it’s police issue in most of the UK and having seen what they get up to with them that’s a good test

you can fold it round like a tablet:

 

[Maker]

A Starrett depth mic

Missing the 25-50mm bar but other than that it appears to be in very good nick, don't think it's ever been used. Having said that, the thimble doesn't feel as nice as a Mitutoyo mic. How are you supposed to check it's reading accurately without a standard? I'd check it against my height master if I had a surface plate.

Zero it against the flat of a parallel or against a new high speed steel lathe bit, both of which should have ground surfaces. The rods have dead stops on them, so setting the 0">1" rod should give you an accurate reading across the board, unless there is damaged to rods in the set.

Only need to calibrate it on zero-25 setting. The other lengths are basically standards in themselves

Your gonna need a new warehouse soon.....

That will be in the van, until the Boss has forgotten about it.
By then The TARDIS will be in the play pen.

But getting home I was impressed with Fed Ex and the Post office.
Ordered Sunday night/ Monday morning.



Seals, drive bands for the Mamod car and a new canopy.
You can it is one of the 2 good Posty people. The card was written in pen and was readable. The parcel was left in a secure place. A Neighbour.




A bit of citric acid, 16kg worth. Fed Ex card told me it was left in a secure place, telling me that the place was secured with a tamper tag. It was.



In a bag on my door step.



Last 2 packs in ScrewFix.
They will be going else were.





In a second hand shop.

No. It was wiped before I got it

Has win 10 and I think it’s had a ram upgrade. It’ll be useful. I’ll soon fill it with pdf manuals of all sorts

If it's already had windows 10 activated on it all you have to do is install it again and it'll sort itself out re: activation.

 

[James1979]

Cheers @Pete. its all running fine now. Loaded a bit of CAM software on it, not lots but layout stuff is handy to do in the office rather than go out to the workshop each time I want to adjust sommat

 

[Olderisbetter]

A delivery of LED lights and controllers which were quickly fitted to the signs we had made for the van.
