It's great to find new old stock items.
Edit: Not today, but awhile back I acquired a dirty old foam box with its unused Eclipse magnetic chuck inside, complete with hold down brackets. Happy day for sure.

I was lucky today.
The engineer I was doubled up with, "Looked in the main office stores" and was happy to make room.
Leaving me with less room in the long term.
My bundle.
So lets explore it.

Hee. Hee. Hee.
Strimmer cord and plant tie back wire. Left by the gardeners.
Their loss my gain.
Another Kit. We got a bundle of them from a Contract the company has. This is my first kit, I have no idea if it is any good.
Spare Multi-Meter. They are good up to 10amp, bets in the range of 1 to 3amp. Volts are Ok to 600, both AC & DC.
Resistance is average. Cheep and bin when go wonky.
A very handy box of assorted glass 20mm fuses and some 3 pin plug ones.
More to my collection.
Boot lace crimps. The red, black and whites have be liberated, I have enough of them. But the green ones I am always on the hunt. I use a lot on E-Light Batter base stations.
That lot will keep me going for a bit.
We only have about 6 left to maintain, getting less each year now, they get ripped out. When the sites goes over to self contained E-Lights.
Heat shrink, not the glued type. But good to seal ends of cables.

Now that's a nice score! It's the same as the chuck on my grinder. If you ever get the chance I'd love to get a scan of the handbook!

Hi Pete,
I don't have a scanner, or access to one at the moment, but I've made a note of it and will get a copy of the handbook for you when I get a chance.
You can use the camera on a phone if you have one. There should be an application for it.

Yes the likes of Ross and Taylor, Taylor & Hobson made some very good lenses in their time.

a new jukebox for the shed.
it's a panasonic toughbook cf-d1 with a
500gigglebit ssd, so plenty of room for audiobooks.
plus, when i've come to investigate: GPS built in and a sim card slot, so satnav...
PLUS! it's fast enough to be not awful running fusion 360.
The fact it's ip65 rated and drop tested to 0.9m is icing on the cake.
the cherry on top: £80, delivered from an IT recycler on the bay.
downside: scratch marks on the plexiglass screen (toothpaste will sort that) + i've had to install some drivers to get win10 to work. (sold with blue screen of death).
I'm well chuffed, tbh!

Thanks for bringing this option to my attention.
I'll have to talk with my Wife about how to do that as she is light years ahead of me regarding phone technology; all I do with my phone is answer it if it happens to ring.Chuffing bargain that!!

The .775" on tailstock is the length I was after!

The 24mm is mt3 not mt2
1 mm too big! I think 23 mm is the biggest MT2 you usually see.

Consider chucking up the MT2 bit, dial in the compound slide along the MT2 face, then chuck up the MT3 bit and turn it down.
