Went to Newark hamfest. Picked up a few things. These are the highlights.

This big old pig!!
And ended up walking it three hours home from Twickenham on a hand truck... Don't even ask
And then lost the hand truck because I left it outside too long by accident after getting the compressor up the stairs and somebody snatched it up!!
A notice has been put out to please be nice and give it back so, fingers crossed.

I bought something similar years ago - delivered to work. Lads gave me a hand to get it across the back of my Lancia with the seats folded - stood on woods it just cleared the rear door handles, and just fitted between the doors, just under the roof lining.
What I had failed to consider of course, was how the heck I got it back out when I got home, without the lads . . .
I ended up having to dismantle it from the boot, to be able to lift the separate bits out, thus lightening it, and gaining head room, to be able to get the tank out on my own.
Mine just went up the stairs end over end in its box.
I'd love one of those hydraulic table trolley things but they're pricey.

As a follow up, the modern frequency generator and the antique analogue counter both work with minimal effort from me. The 1970's frequency generator has some issues but I have managed to locate a schematic from the UK vintage radio website so it should be fixable.
10kHz output at ten volts, faithfully reported on the ancient dial!

A Parkside 250w bench grinder/belt sander...couldn't resist for a tenner, brand new in box, 2x 80 grit belts and a 120, and they are nominal sizes, 50x686mm so readily available...
Loud compared to my titan bench grinder and not as smooth but I think thats inherent to to the belt as the join isnt exactly smooth.
But it works so will bolt it down and call it good

It is very well made. Considering it is 60 years old, it works better than me!

The nuts and bolts are imperial y the way.
But M12 will be suitable to bolt it to the trailer frame.

I had one of those when I was a little lad. I remember getting a bollocking after snapping off the coupling magnets. I wanted them for another project, long forgotten
