Jammy Bastard!
Only comes once in a lifetime.
Same as a brand new brickie's lump hammer just lying in the gutter.

He'll be telling us it's a re-useable one, next.
That'll make the meter wheel spin fast when on full chat! You'll need a hefty supply to run it, probably 40a at least.

I have a dedicated 32 amp supply available in my double garage. So that will serve the compressor I believe that is correct for it.
It is also possible to run one pump or the other with the control box. So when using it for low volume tasks I'll just run it on one pump.
The PO had it running off a single 13 amp fused spur with 2.5 T&E cable feeding it
It did fired up and run OK on that though.

Not the sort of ham fest I imagined

The plan is to build a shed with solar panels on the roof and I also have at least one working wind turbine, a Rutland Furlmatic. Not much outout, 300W IIRC, but that will likely be pretty constant because of the wind up here. I'd like it all to be connected through the house and use it as a power wall, draw on it when the price is high, charge it when cheap. I've a friend who knows about these things so won't struggle for technical advice and have also helped him service similar set ups but using lead acid cells.

I have not practiced for 35 years and have forgotten half of the mnemonic rules for sounding letters and numbers. But sometimes I dream that I'm sitting waiting for the start of the transmission and the transmission of the welcome key to the beginning of the packet ... 220 characters per minute to transmit and receive when I could.

I have yet to learn but this key has the training box so can hear the dots and dashes
I don't think I will be doing 220 characters per minute any time soon!
It was more or less covering a very odd shaped hole

We were taught to hear the music of each sign, tied mnemonically to the word. With each training session (after learning all the characters), the transmission and reception speeds were gradually increased. The brain eventually adapts and automatically recognizes signs, already without mnemonics, "recognition" occurs.I have yet to learn but this key has the training box so can hear the dots and dashes

As I found out very recently, if I learn with my left hand I can write it down with my right hand!
Or I could utilise technology and get a translator to create a text file
