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

[Olderisbetter]

Ever near Milton Keynes.
THInk the motor I rescued from a southbend lathe is half hp.

Sadly i am not, but i plan to try and travel a few times a month up and down the M6 to Manchester and back down the M6 as far as Exeter which is not much good, But if i can sort a day out to Bletchley computing museum i would be interested.

Be passing the lockup Thursday. Il grab it and bring it back to photograph.
Probably Needs a rewire to the start stop fwd rev switches but chap I bought from was using it until he went 3p and vfd
Owes me a tenner. Rather see it being used.

Bletchley parks supposed to be a good day out. Keep meaning to take the boys down.

Can't find a pillar drill up here for love nor money! and you get one for free.... The injustice of it! Is the taper roller bearing an aftermarket improvement?

This is what was in the brown box

The electric switch box has had a bash and needs replacing bit they assured me it works fine.
I wondered what you were on about with the roller bearing! Yes all Elliots have that design I think.

A new boiler! Hopefully going in tomorrow and working by the weekend.

I see you get a better class of scrap in Sweden - that's not very happy, it's green with envy!

Come on mate, its not that mean.
It would have if I'd shown the other boxes with 20 kg lathe tools

Fair enough I take it back.
Are you sure rummaging in the rubbish bin?

 

[Olderisbetter]

This is a birthday gift to myself a generic swager and pictures of one of the spanners i got from my last scavenge, now it has been degreased and left in citric acid and wire brushed i can see it has a name on.. it seems to be C&WW and WB on the side, I also got a pair of Wolsley 1500 brake drums to upgrade one of my moggies brakes which are also now in citric acid.

 

[Cobbler]

I fitted Wolsleley 1500 brakes to the front of my series 2 minor years ago, made a really good mod. Brakes were superb after that.

 

[Olderisbetter]

They are a great mod same as the Riley 1.5 brakes but very hard to find same as the marina disc conversion as all the parts a scarce now.
