arent i luckey?, just what i always wanted!

[bawjaws]

look what i found lying beside a skip perfect, been waiting for them to come in again at aldis, but even better free , probably never put it in the skip coz its that heavy, but got it home (2 of us) and had a look, some covers cracked, wires hanging out, no valves on regulator or plugs on tank, and needs a damn good clean (says made in 1997) but because i have way too much time on my hands i got to it, and it all works well now other than an unfixable hole in the regulator (see clamp ) and its still mankey. its a good 14cfm and prety quiet too compared to the powercraft so thats a bonus (for the neighbours )

so, what have other found while out and about?

Nice find, is it 110V or are you just using any old plug?

 

[simon718]

[madkayaker]

makeing a guard for the belt would be high on my list

 

[madkayaker]

also worth a look inside check for corrosion

 

[simon718]

An air compressor IN a skip! http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=8692

There's a car next to a skip in the nexxt street, I think I'll have that

 

[simon718]

230v,yes temporarily though

did the little safety lug meet with the grinder

 

[madkayaker]

still shouldn't fit (i think but have never tried)

 

[simon718]

i think they will, i may have had the same thought at one point and had a look at two side by side, never actually had a need to do it though have quite a collection of those plugs now

 

[madkayaker]

might be worth for duel voltage kit

 

[simon718]

until the hse man s**ts a brick when he sees a 110v plug in a 220v socket

 

[madkayaker]

Paint it blue?

 

[simon718]

or use a 220v plug then it'll just confuse him when its plugged into a yellow socket

 

[madkayaker]

yep well that would be the safer option

The plugs are the same except the the pip is in a different place. Oh and the colour of course. Cut the pip off and they interchange, the rating is the same.

Still naughty though
