Skip find!
Actually got 4 Honeywell ones, but one someone has drilled through the dome and cracked the lens. The big one is a Samsung PTZ, but missing the dome and I assume missing a base with another circuit board in, it just has a big weird 22 way connector underneath, probably a bit useless like this. Hopefully I can set something up with the 3 good Honeywell ones and a Raspberry Pi.

I'm finally replacing my old shop compressor, since its tank was getting very rusty inside after 35 years. I just bought this one today. I managed to trundle it out of my truck and into the shop by myself, with a little assistance from my roll-around engine hoist. This model has a higher output and longer duty cycle than my old shop compressor, and it's about the largest one that I could afford and that I could squeeze into my already-crowded little shop. The tank has a MAWP rating of 175 psi, and I think the cutout switch is probably set at about 155 psi (I haven't powered it up yet). It didn't come with a pressure regulator for the output, so I've ordered a regulator and filter for it, which should be here in a few days. They had 3/8" NPT regulators and filter units in the store, but for better flow I wanted to bump them up to 1/2" NPT connections and install a new Goodyear 1/2" supply hose between the compressor and my existing ceiling-mounted hose reel. I already had a couple of heavy-duty swivel feet for levelling the compressor, but I had to order one additional foot. While I'm waiting for that stuff, I need to figure out how to route the supply hose over to the hose reel. I also have a coalescing filter unit somewhere that I might use.
My old shop compressor was on wheels, but I already have two small portable compressors that are in good working order, so this one is going to stay right where it is.

Ended up buying five (£1.50) decent thick kneeling pads & Evo-stick gluing four on one side of some tread plate and one on the other side .
Tying a strong nylon pull cord loop to the edge of the plate so it can be replaced as needed , having that five or so inch thick soft step under my knees has bee marvelous , even more so now I have a total left knee replacement joint .
I also got one of the pop together plastic garden ing stools that when inverted become a kneeler with push up arms often pop two unglued thick semi solid foam kneeling pads on the kneeling part nowadays .

They seem to vary in price alot, with the state of the shade and lack of bulb holder I think it would be a fair bit less.
I'll fix it up though, and probably use it rather than sell it.
I've currently got a hacked up kneeling pad in the knee pad pockets of an old pair of work trousers for the moments I forget - the lump of foam at each knee reminds me most of the time. As a mostly office based bod, I don't get issued with the actual knee pads, although I seem to have confused the system for a good number of years to continue getting the decent work trousers with useful pockets and material thick enough not to see through, unlike the "office" trousers.

I used to love Easter holiday hires , charge a day and it's covered & insured till returned , better than filling the workshop with off hires and some git breaking in & helping themselves to a bulging at the seams hire fleet .
