Wow, a blast from my Past.Yesterday I bought something I never knew I needed (I still don’t know if I do
I googled to find out what it was, and what it did, and decided to give it a go, so collected it yesterday. Hardly used, and just needing the dust removed, and a wee touch of oil here and there.
The lass was selling it for her boss who originally bought it years ago to make plates for the equipment they sell. She pointed out that it was never used, was filling one of her storage shelves, and anyway, everyone used sharpies to mark the pumps.
Look at me entering the 20th century technology race.
Managed to spend a couple of hours tonight giving it a clean, and my first attempt at a ‘test’ label. I want to eventually try some freehand stuff with it.

I think so, although the instruction manual I found is for a more modern IM3, but does the job.
If I said that to SWMBO after I'd just bought something, I'm pretty sure I'd receive a hard whack to the back of my head!!Yesterday I bought something I never knew I needed (I still don’t know if I do
