Poor packaging is to blame rather than the postal system. @fizzy told me he used to send lab glassware and it’d be fine.

Not in this case.
It was well wrapped, the damaged to the box is what you would see if it was dropped.
I have sent glass via the RM and it arrived in good condition.

Unfortunately the word's "fragile do not drop" mean absolutely nothing to anyone in the delivery world, absolutely nothing whatsoever.
If the packaging isn't drop proof, then it's simply a gamble as to whether it will be OK or not.

Got this absolute little beauty migatronic 180 mono for free today just had to lift it into the back of my car doesn't work but transformer powers up when I push the relay switch anyone fancy joining in helping me bring her to life?
I'm convinced they treat it worse if it's got fragile anywhere on it.

when i was young i worked for what used to be dpd if marked fragile dont make any differance it still goes in the same pile only ones that did not are they special delivery/nextday they had a seprate box to put in so they got picked first if the van got filled up the ones left just waited till the next day
dont get me wrong it got the same treatment youed get the sack if you are kicking it around but if the pile was to high you only had a choise to throw it on the top of the pile thats the way it went
Still got mine had it from new.

Is it the same model? Okay bit of kit? Do you have any parts lists user manuals or wiring diagrams?
Been like that for years and still welds good.

I've also had one of these from new (sometime in the mid '80's) Touch wood, it has always been reliable. I have seen a wiring diagram for these machines either on this site or linked from here. I did download it at the time, but can't find it now. It would be worth you spending a bit of time with the search tool on here to see if you can locate it.

Today I acquired a sign for the garage, and an old stainless tin which will do duty as a paint pot while I'm up on a ladder, courtesy of the local Charity Shop; and the Postman brought a new pressure tester, which I got a good deal on.

We use similar models. One for hose reels and one for testing dry risers.

This one is the TP 25 Model ( 0 > 25 Bar or 0 > 362 psi ) . I'm going to use it mainly for the plumbing installation in our project house.
