I was expecting more "RYRYRYRY" on the screen if it's RTTY

Is it a modern version of the PK232?

Still got mine

The signal fades on 10MHz this time of night, it's down in the noise and amazing how well it copes. The modem is being developed bit by bit as we have time and there are already some unique features. PD0LEW in Holland is concentrating on the software and I am doing all the hardware / PCB design. The snap off sections are to suit a 5" display as shown, or a 7" display with just the left section snapped off.

Well time to put other things inside and get dinner

And the cockatiel?

And the cockatiel?

Those live outside the shop, they arrived as birthday present for my mom after our 17 years old dog (half breed pinscher) death.
They spend the day in the yard breathing open fresh air, and we take them inside home during the night.
We eventually got a lovely Prague ratter, well my sister bought it and we fell in love with it, just imagine to have a 3 pound doberman but extremely cuddly and really intelligent little dog.
Its always nearby us, it lives freely at home and it's very educated.
I love it, I didn't want it because I was still crying the previous one but I eventually couldn't resist him.
Little bast@#* arrived that was only a month old puppy

I had to bend 2 new heel board brackets as I hadn’t accounted for the width of the V block in the brake.

Lots of 30mm box and welding later and I have a body shell trolley.

Beta broken studs extractors set, cheap Amazon M3-4-5-6-8-10-12 spiral fluted taps, red box is 3/8BSW dormer tap

I do not trust any make of those forms of stud extractors not to make an already crap job 100 times worse . . . place them somewhere safe now, so safe you forget you have them

Preferably in the bin!

I guess technically it's not made but I did cut out the parts for my new sliding gate thats going in the garden/driveway.

 

[brightspark]

I decided I needed a square thing so I made one in case I need one .

yea they realy come in handy when you need one on a sunday and the shops are closed

Well let's say that those ones apparently work.
They have a 5 flute spiral design not the usual thread type that usually end up snapping.
Problem with those types of extractors is that people don't know how to use them.
Seized studs equals drilling them out
Over tightened one you can try them out
Broken fitting they'll 99% work
And so on
Essentially if you can spin them little bit with a chisel you can save a lot of time using them
Otherwise try something else

Needed to roll four rings out of 5mm flat plate,so bashed out a quick and nasty ring roller conversion for an old vice. Made some soft jaws with mounting holes for the rollers ,and it worked a charm.

Picking up on subframe mounts, nice!

Thanks! It’s more stable than trying to move them around on a pallet and it saves the floor getting scratched once it’s all painted.


This one’s getting Cooper-ised so I got the boot board brackets welded in yesterday.

Sliding gate has been tacked up but too windy to properly do anything and no way I’m getting a 4x2 gate frame in my garage and being able to work round it.

I did manage to get the side gate made to go along with it though. Just some tidying up to do to it before i prime and paint it.

Weighs probably 100kg though which should make hanging it fun!

 

[BrokenBiker]

ignore the messy bench, i had a minor episode just before the photo for not being able to find the tungsten i had just sharpened. wooden handle is just a dummy to aid assembly.

there are 3 more identical, mounts left to do monday but they are simple. still need a bit of fettling to get them right in places but for the most part they are how my father wants them to look, hand made and heavy duty. will house some flickering LED bulbs in a frosted tube for a fairly authentic effect.

will post another pic when painted and installed.

for scale they are 140mm diameter, 250 from tips to bottom of the mount spikes

Some no glue, no sticky tape periscopes for the kids to use to sneak about inside boxes.

I don’t know either, but they seem to enjoy it so who am I to judge
