Good question!
They came from a pub, the landlord wanted rid, I think they're pretty old. One of them says its a CO2/Nitrogen mix so its probably not much use for welding (not sure if they all are).
I thought they look like a nice long, thick flue (assembly required), if a thick walled flue is beneficial?

Takes longer to rot out, if nothing else.

£98 got me this.
I asked a friend to get me a new small lap top.
He sent me a large box.
All contents are as I removed them.
That was in the small box, inside the box.
Date and time is wrong, needs a good charge and I am going to up load much usefull stuff.
A bonus box.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bubble wrap.
I may be some time..............
A lot of work needed.

From the back of the shop
a walkers crisps display inc baskets , some nice metal soon to be reperpossed and lidl's
£4.99 I'd only one decent set of metric allen keys ( bacho ) so these will probably go in the van and the bacho's in the garage there long and look decent quality even if the holders carp time will tell.

From the local "Shed" charity shop next to the recycling yard. A bag full of new chrome cabinet handles, 21 of them but missing most of the screws. A rusty flexible screw bit holder I didn't notice in the bag, and a small wooden gage marker which still has bits of the old decal on it.

This is the model I’ve acquired, the rubber plug is missing and that’s all
I can see that’s wrong with it

That lot comes as a service kit (excluding the coolant) I've used the AMC stuff before and it seems ok.
I could only get about 6 liters of the old coolant out, it takes 11 liters apparently but I wasn't about to start ripping all the hoses off trying to extract the rest!
I'll do another half change in a couple of months.
It feels smoother now , looks like the old fuel filter was last changed in 2017

That's why I used green coolant. Only one it won't mix with is red, if I recall correctly. Made it easier to gradually get full, fresh coolant in there. Mine didn't have red in, when I got it.

Finally got home and opened my new toy. It's a bit dusty, but clearly been well looked after. 
I might have to open it up and try to clean the viewfinder. The lens feels a bit crunchy too but optically looks fine, hopefully just need a bit of a clean.
With no battery in it was very dark through the viewfinder, I was a bit worried it was knackered but a new battery and the mirror moved into position properly, it seems to work. Nice satisfying shutter noise, lightmeter responds to light, won't know if it's accurate until I've shot a roll, but there's no reason to suspect it shouldn't be.
I just have to find something interesting to take pictures of now.
