......but if got working don't even know what to do with it

Power an electrolysis rust-removal tank/set-up?

 

[Robotstar5]

What do you use it for

Looks like a CB power supply, may have an internal fuse blown if someone has shorted the output.

 

[Maker]

What do you use it for

Gathering dust. I used to use it for electrolysis but now I use a huge battery charger so it sits under a big pile of power supply's under my bench.

Looks like a CB power supply

It is.

today I acquired some pallet wrap......

a few days ago I ordered a panel beating hammer and dolly and a roll of pallet wrap online. I then tried to contact them over the phone to amend the delivery address and was on hold for nearly 2 hours and then they ended the call before I spoke to anyone. I later sent them an email and they didn't reply to that either.

today I got the delivery and it looks like they sent me a case of 40 rolls of pallet wrap instead of 1 roll. under normal circumstances I would try and contact them to arrange for collection, but why should I bother as they didn't answer my previous call or email, so karma has been restored, and I have give the pallet wrap to someone who can make use of it.

depends if they bill you for a roll or a box full

Be careful, if they realise their mistake they are more than entitled to require you to make it available for collection or charge you for it if you don't return it...something about obtaining goods by dishonest means.

Send a letter by recorded post outlining the mistake and giving them a reasonable time to make contact and arrange collection else you will dispose of the pallet wrap as you see fit.

It just got stolen / set fire to / accidently binned / cant find it / me no understandy.

Good ebay offer on Scruffs work boots, only size 10.5 though, I take a10 but I just put a thicker insole in and they fit nice. Scruffs boots never need wearing in, I just get them out of the box and wear them every day.

Ah, the old 3A Bremi, standard issue for CB muppets in the 80s Also available as a 5A, 7A and 10A (in case you were running a burner, CQDX 10-4 rubber buddy and all that)...
I taught myself electronics by fannying about with CB radios, then Ham gear, then ex-MOD radio gear... and I still have a 3A Bremi in the loft!

Another infra-red thermometer courtesy of the clearance bin at Aldi: £6.50.
Specs say it will read to 380 degrees but I've had 522 from the gas fire running full tilt

Turn that fire down. You not a pensioner yet are you ....

Hey, I could be forging some pokey-sticks or whale-gutting knives over a railway-line anvil in the kitchen for all you know: don't forget the old bustard next door isn't around to whinge about the noise any more...

Anyway, this is the first time this year the fire's been lit, have to smoke out a summer's-worth of spiders from the flue (the terminal is a ridge tile, gets a lot of webs)...
