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

[pedrobedro]

Went in to Aldi and came out with two boxes of O rings, nice assortment up to 50mm in a nice box £4!

I will go up and see if ours has any. I bought some assorted ones from Temu and found a couple to fit my old Black and decker pressure washer lance fitting. They want 90p each for them on ebay.

Latest Karcher wasn't performing to it's fullest so bit the bullet and got a Kranzle. Noticible difference in power and surprisingly quiet. Shame on the Karcher as it was only 3 year old and I'm normally one to defend them.

Blame the consumers for putting up with it.

Got to love a file card

They are very cheap on the Chinese sites . IIRC ........ two pads on wooden backings for the princely sum of £4.50

You get some weird stuff.

Wait till you have a face to face meet up with Ardy ................... then you'll understand why .

I had one that lasted well over a decade and my brother was still using it until recently so they did used to be half decent but the recent stuff is poor.

Mine came free with a house purchase over 20 yrs ago - and it looked old then. Still in good working order.

Mine's over 35 years old, 1 new pressure switch is all.

A cheap box of Ektachrome.

It did unfortunately expire three years before I was born.

Just have to buy an E6 kit now. And ideally a warming filter as its Tungsten balenced.

I might try to shoot and develop part of a roll to see how desensitised it's gotten, the "1 stop per decade" rule puts it down at 40 ASA. The seller claimed it's been stored in the freezer all this time, but he would say that wouldn't he...

Test shots taken at 320, 160, 100, 50 and 25 ISO.



Stored in the freezer my ass

Stored in the freezer my ass

In the garden with no power supplied , but only for the last 15 years or so .

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

From a Cex store in town.

Brand New, not opened.

But I had to look to make sure.

£50 the lot.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Was given this.

 

[AdventuresInMetal]

A nice small and lightweight 7" grinder to add to the collection.

I have it's cheaper brother and love it.
This should be the WEPBA 19-180 quick, isn't it?
I have the WE19-180 quick, exactly the same grinder but no brake or autobalancer.
Brake is great, but I'm not convinced about the balance thinghy, cause I have not one but two WEPBA17-125Quick DS which have this feature but I've personally not felt a big improvement as they advertise

 

[AdventuresInMetal]

This should be the WEPBA 19-180 quick, isn't it?

Yes, WEPBA 19-180 Quick RT (601099390) not had a chance to use it properly yet but from a quick test its so much nicer to use than my Metabo WEA 24-180 MVT Quick or the Makita GA7062R's
