[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

nice!!!

I paid forty odd quid for mine - and there's no paint on it at all.

is that the original paint colour?

I believe so, not had a chance to look to far into it.

Perhaps I should start a new section. Today I found!
I have finally got my racking up and can now get at the stuff I had.
Just found this. Didn't realise I had it.
A gap for the bed of my Colchester Triumph!View attachment 165455

Could you check if my gap for the Lang is there please

I wonder how many people have one of these?
Cast iron so pretty heavy.View attachment 165456

Wheres the pic of you on its back?

No idea about the cider, but is that made by Morso in Sweden by any chance? If so, they ain't cheap...

No idea the make, had a quick play.
But I needed food.

I raised an E Bay complaint.
Guess what, they sided with the guy who had sold this. He claimed it was in good condition and fully working. Normal rubbish they spout when then have been found out.

I contacted E bay again, showing pictures of the undamaged packaging and a statement that UPS had delivered it undamaged. Plus I had supplied pictures that all the Anti Tamper seals and Anti tamper paint had bean broken.
The ring you see (1 of 3 loose) is from the Needle Zero adjusting screw. The one above the AVO logo.

Just before Christmas, E bay conceded the damaged was "Pre delivery." Thus not by transit damaged and the seller knew it was not as advertised. I got a refund. Not including P&P. I complained again and they have now refunded all my costs.
So.
Why this ambling rant?

Today I got a parcel.

Ask my local landlord if he had any kegs he couldn't send back and hey presto these emerged from the deep dark cellar, initially I thought they would be stainless so offered to make him a bbq from one, however I think they may be ally which has screwed me over a bit (dont own an ac tig) and melting point will be too low...grr

This arrived today.

Ran it for an hour, shut it down, started it up and no problems. Just in time for the cold and snow too.
Well pleased

Ohhhh new boots.

The missing piece of the puzzle, a Record 52A. These are bloody hard to find, unlike the 52 which is very plentiful. I now have a matching 52A and 53A. The A models had a screw cover which stops crap getting in and clogging it up. Time to build that bench!

New landlord of Village pub has been clearing out some old stuff. Previous incumbent was doing some dodgy stuff. A lot of barrels aren’t on the system, as they don’t have a paperwork trail they can’t go back. He was told to dispose of them. He gave me a couple of pints to take them away. I have 10 in total, all different sizes

Next up had a phone call from a mate who works for a big hire firm. They have first dibs on old hire kit when it’s taken off the fleet. It’s been fully serviced, cleaned and PAT tested, oh he gave it to me FOC

Today I got for free
Bosch gsh 11 e
Armature failure ,switch and controller missing

Bosch jig saw (don't know what's the problem yet)

Makita concrete mixer
I think is only a ball bearing

Makita heat gun
Main control board failure

Makita HK0500
I think is only grease or switch problem

Berner diamond saw to put pipes and wire under the concrete ,do not have idea of how it's named in English

9" Chinese angle grinder
Switch failure

Black and decker drill (always the same problems with carbon brush holders )
I will take from it the bearing for the mixer

Was looking for the makita heat gun ,and the sds plus demolition hammer ....
But now I have them
Later I will repair the makitas at least
Later I think that I will post some pictures also of the würth BMH 5-40 SE of the other day which I forgot to do and tell you about about a free 30mm sds max drill bit into the wurth transport case

parm becareful with that it has no soft start as i have the same model

that model has pulled me into the ground when cutting a flag up before it blew the 13 amp fuse it had in

hold it tightly it has a kick on start up and only place it down when it stops spinning

that model really does the work hard
