Found in a recycling bin this time.

Saw this in a kerbside recycling bin. Luckily the two wheel cover bits were also there, just needs three nuts and bolts. Only fault is it needs a new switch.
I’ve had the same model for about 25 years and looks a bit tatty now and the switch is also a bit iffy. but this one looks almost brand new.
I ordered 3 new switches from Amazon for £11.00 and can replace the grinder switches and he big parts washer switch. Yep, another freebie rescue that was dumped after they put petrol in it and the switch sparked and ignited the fumes, setting it alight and setting off the lids fire safety mechanism.

after they put petrol in it

Why on Earth would they do that? (unless you meant "spilled"?)

Nope, not spilled, they used petrol in it. Chap in the workshop did the same thing with the ultrasonic but switched the heater on first and then switched it on. Nice hot fumes.He was screeching like Beaker out of the Muppets. I’ll see if I’ve still got the video. People’s daftness knows no bounds.

The picture. To the man at the end. “Get me a bigger screwdriver.”
