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

There's some truly impressive old kit still knocking about out there, isn't there. I know what you mean. You see the stuff, and the quality, workmanship, design etc. of the old kit is like a Siren's song.

Some fantastic stuff out there. Some of it just to big unfortunately. But build quality is unbelievable

... It's easier to refuse beforehand, than part with something you already own later down the line.

At least that way you know it's not going for scrap.

Today i got the LED light for my fake windows, They work in a fashion but i had to get them from the Range so they are not the quality i wanted, The only colours that match are red and green, But better than nothing for now.

I wondered why all those men were hanging around by the drive.... I found a dull white colour on the remote so now it just looks like the blinds are shut and the lights are on.

Apparently it’s good to sleep in red light. I have tried it with a lava lamp and it’s much easier on the eyes if you get up in the night

Not good when you're getting a knock at the door from strangers.

In my house we have skillfully chosen to position the beds away from the front door, I'm not sure what arrangement they go for in Barnsley though

I have to agree i have red back ground lighting in the bed room and i get very good deep sleep now, I was told light blue lighting helps you wake up after it has been on for about 20 minutes, I was going to set me light to change to light blue in the morning to test it out.

Front bedrooms aren't called so for no reason.

Makes sense - I hate paying full price, or any price!
I'm in Camberley, about as far away across Surrey as you can get (about 5 mins off the M3), I'll weigh a metre and check postage on it?

That looks to be almost complete & in a better state than mine! How much was it? (I'll not tell your Mrs!)

Any chance you could take a pic of the 2 name plates I can see, 1 below the gearbox lever & the other on the column above the chuck key shelf?

Many thanks @pod70 for dropping this down.

Stripped to check wiring before testing

Motor runs fine after oiling the bearings and spindle bearings are good.

Quick clean and a spraypaint to tidy up next weekend and back together.
