[Maker]

A cheap box of Ektachrome.

It did unfortunately expire three years before I was born.

Just have to buy an E6 kit now. And ideally a warming filter as its Tungsten balenced.

I might try to shoot and develop part of a roll to see how desensitised it's gotten, the "1 stop per decade" rule puts it down at 40 ASA. The seller claimed it's been stored in the freezer all this time, but he would say that wouldn't he...

Test shots taken at 320, 160, 100, 50 and 25 ISO.



Stored in the freezer my ass

Stored in the freezer my ass

In the garden with no power supplied , but only for the last 15 years or so .

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

From a Cex store in town.

Brand New, not opened.

But I had to look to make sure.

£50 the lot.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Was given this.

I have it's cheaper brother and love it.
This should be the WEPBA 19-180 quick, isn't it?
I have the WE19-180 quick, exactly the same grinder but no brake or autobalancer.
Brake is great, but I'm not convinced about the balance thinghy, cause I have not one but two WEPBA17-125Quick DS which have this feature but I've personally not felt a big improvement as they advertise

Yes, WEPBA 19-180 Quick RT (601099390) not had a chance to use it properly yet but from a quick test its so much nicer to use than my Metabo WEA 24-180 MVT Quick or the Makita GA7062R's

70's Yank at that - I can't see the metric ones being worn out on it

i was amused to see metric tools listed as "foreign" in Sears Hardware the first time I went to the US in 1999.

Now not one single imperial sized fastener on my 16 plate Dodge.

My Gearwrench tools have been totally reliable for years of frequent usage. :You made a good haul.

I like the fact it doesn't go "full throttle" when fired and stays at "idle" until you're actually using it.
When it senses RPMs are slowing down it gives power and goes full speed , improving brushes and bearings lifetime.
Then while cutting RPMs stay constant, it doesn't slow down.
It's lightweight but it's a little beast.
I have the WEA24-230MVT Quick too , which is same as yours but in 230mm/ 9" variant.
It's bulky it's heavy but it has it's place too
And as the WEAPB17-125Quick DS It should have the same constant speed feature as the 19-180 RT , but it doesn't feel like it works the same way .
Another thing I like about all these is the mechanical safety clutch but it kinda slips limiting the amount of torque they give while grinding.
It's both good and bad .
On the other hand I've tried to stall the WEA24-230MVT without success and this reminds me that I cannot rely on the electronic safety clutch which is equipped with.
Anyways it might actually work only if it senses the wheel bindings with a quick decreasing of the speed .
I don't know but I don't think to be able to hold the grinder enough tight to trigger the clutch if happens

 

[Memmeddu]

I love Metabo grinders, they're the best.

Quality wise Fein have a better construction but they're are on another price tag.
I love Metabo because you get the best quality and performances for what you pay.
And they are cheap compared to Fein

just read what i put and it weas measnt to say Metric/imperial spanners from America. They must of made Metrinch spanners for some cars as i believe that during the Corvette production, maybe other cars they used both metric and imperial fittings haha.
