Seymour Models sounds like an old fashioned porn shop!Anyone remember Odion Radio in Harrow? I used to work in the model shop next door, Seymour Models. Now a poxy office block.

and can put the information to memory for future use.
Don't you mean future temptation?

I was just thinking what a great thread this is. Often we see tools and items we didn't know about, and can put the information to memory for future use.
We're at a bit of a strange crossroads I think. Someone mentions say Denco coils, long lost to memory for most. Turns out someone on Thingiverse has figured out how to model and print equivalent formers so you wind modern equivalents. Means we can dust off our Bernard Babani books by R A Penfold, F G Rayer etc.
Jackson variable capacitors, should be a doddle to recreate the plates with a laser cutter now. Mind you I seem to recall the PoWs in Colditz fabbing them from Old Holborn tins.
Glad to see it arrived safe and sound. My idea of bolting it to 2 pallets for stability was correct - but it looks like there is a bolt missing?
And round the corner in Soho - Lisle Street and Little Newport Street. Brave walking past 'St John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin', and if you survived that there was Smiths on the same side - good for aluminium chassis's and occasional bouts of genuine surplus. I bought a Cossor 1035 oscilloscope there in 1970 and trusted a black cab to take it home for me unaccompanied - glad to say that it arrived !
Never did understand all those signs on doorways saying 'Model - Please walk up' - were they model planes, ships or what - they never did say

I did not know the term, I had to look it up:
But as a boy from St.Pauli I know now of course what is meant ...

Needs a small makeup but technically it is in working condition with very few hours on arc.
Only con is the missing side panel but it is available for less than a kidney ;-)
And the pro is that it got the SP option.
So no time for hanging around on tv between Xmas.

A couple of pump controllers.
Christmas is here early!
As far as I can tell, they're VFDs with extra electronics to monitor pressure/flow sensors, adjust frequency to meet setpoints, communicate over Modbus, that sort of thing. Bluetooth too, apparently
. The extra electronics must explain the new price, about 800 quid each . Hopefully they can ignore all their clever electronics and just be set to simple V/f control for three phase motors. Also hopefully they work, they were thrown out and I haven't tested them yet.

Very handy, close to the hospital of diseases of the skin. You could well be needing some sort of treatment after a visit.And round the corner in Soho - Lisle Street and Little Newport Street.

Looks like he's already started to 'unload' it, since the nut's missing on the RH one?

Hi all 
Today, after many confusions, detours and customs formalities,
a package arrived from the English lands via the land of the Picts.
What might be in it?
Change gears for the ML7 ... one of them with caries ... hmmm
What else?
More gears ....
So far, no more cases of tooth decay with tooth loss ...
And more gears ...
And the best:
For the extremely important 40t with tooth loss, a friendly fellow forumist gave me a brand spanking new gear to go with it.
My most heartfelt thanks go to Wiltshire, Kent, Scotland.
Now the work begins with Ballistol, brush, brass brushes, toothbrushes in the tea tray and then the gears should be fresh again -
the tooth on the 40t will still be missing, but I don't have to do anything on its replacement.
And while I'm at it, I can also take care of this - just arrived:
I had tried it with the QCTP from Chinesium, not Banggood but the same stuff from eBay.de,
but I'm still not over the scrap that was delivered to me there.
I could not even get up to report here about it ....
This original swiss Multifix Aa - which you normally can't afford at all - someone had got together with his Weiler lathe and it fitted his lathe as little as many things I had got to mine. So you help where you can ...
Now I'm trying to see if I can't get this system adapted to my ML7 - should there be any effort involved, I'm much more motivated to do this than to get the China stuff workable!
Here is a replica holder whose vendor at least claims "German final inspection" for its product - assuming we all know where the stuff comes from, I'm satisfied with that for now.
And here now a fairly used original and a replica holder side by side .... let's see.
If it doesn't work out ok, yet I have not burned much money with it.
And then there was something in the package, which was not talked about before and whose exact purpose is not quite clear to me yet ...
Someone put a lot of work into it - Any idea?
Q: Is there a method to mend a tooth on a cast gear, like welding on and cutting off or something??? - cause I need two 40t ...
Have a wonderful evening everybody,
Carsten
