Today I acquired...........

[northwest]

Does yours have the square front pillar on the base casting like mine, or rounded like all the others I can find pics of?

I have no idea Pete, but I will take a look see tomorrow and get back to you.

Meanwhile,I got this today:



It is my new workbench/place of work. It is a very long story and at times incredibly unfair but I have decided to help my pal Gareth out who has been shafted by his (now EX) partner. The lad hasn't seen wages in three months now but hopefully we are heading the right direction. As is always the way with these things nowadays I am probably going to be spending most of my time in the office digging my way out of a mountain of paperwork. It will be good though when I can get it sorted because I have quite a few projects I would like to do.
One of which is to get that Transmig working.

Wow, thanks for that

 

[Mick Annick]

Strange, just had a look at their website and remembered I looked at them before but they were more expensive, will give them a try.

5 circuit boards, in a rather oversized box

Making light work...
I was only looking for a case for one of my other Gossens, when this popped up - three items for the going price of just the colorimeter on its own.
Would have been rude to turn it down.

I liked the Gossen meters and you have reminded me that I have a mint Lunasix, mint except that the needle has fallen off its pivot. I should open it up and find out what as happened, it is worthless now so I can't do much harm.

That's a beast of a clamp.

Maybe you should start a thread on 'show us your clamps'.

It's a lovely clamp, admittedly.

I’ve just had another look at it as I can’t quite get over the size of it, main web is 1.75” thick, 14” Tommy bar, thread is 1” OD!

Ahem. https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/count-your-clamps.115278/

It takes a long time, but they seem to be prone to the odd fault here and there.
I have two that were dirt cheap and almost unused, with battery terminals knackered. Quick replacement and good to go.
It's the skin-tight battery compartment that has ham-fisted owners jamming the battery in and wrecking the connectors. These are the PP3 powered ones.
The most recent one also had tarnish on the three pins / hollow pins that connect the two sides of the clamshell. Just age, nothing else.

Yours might have been dropped, but even so, they seem fairly resistant to post-drop faultiness going by what I read of others' reports.

Some thing like this

I was waiting for this - there is always one - or more like a few on here

The fact you were waiting for it says something - it hadn't even occurred to me
