What's this myford part?

Looks like a surreptitious ad for an item on eBay to me. Or am I being seasonally suspicious?

I looked at it when it appeared on the list but the ebay auction had already finished by then so i don't think it was an ad unless the post appeared late.

Not sure how it could be a surreptitious ad for an auction that ended 5 days ago :-)

A bit of insider info (as I've bought stuff from him), is that Steve who posted the query and link here is also rocketry100 who happened to be the buyer of the item.

Close, but no cigar.... ;-)

Thanks Duncan!

It's not an ad - it's a genuine inquiry about something I purchased that may have been described incorrectly - i.e. I suspect it may not be part of a Myford 7 Series.

looks like a reverse tumbler of some sort

Duncan,

How politically incorrect to tell us that! It is my view that you owe Steve a big apology, and maybe a pint.

Mike

He may or may not owe Steve an apoloy but political correctness is going out of fashion thank goodness!

Bring back dustmen, get rid of 'chairpersons' etc etc so we know what we're dealing with and don't pansy around with meaningless names for things !

Being a Yorkshireman I tend to want to call a spade a spade, and if I'm happy I'm gay but still don't fancy any of you blokes !

It doesn't worry me who knows I'm rocketry100 on ebay! I wouldn't even have thought about it until you said. No apology needed.

Andrew, First of all it's not a spade it's a F-?#'£G shovel. Take no notice of that bloody pansy, Eaton. Next thing he'll be telling you that a logistics technician isn't a bloody lorry driver.

I'm not a pansy, I'm not, I'm not, I'm NOT! And if you say I am again, I'll scratch your eyes out.

So you are both happy - that's fine.

Sorry if I have offended, but as I read it at the time it just looked rather unfortunate.

You may not do PC, but do you do pints?

[You did perhaps note the sig under which I posted. :) - repeated below]

Mike

Hi Mike, I wasn't offended, just curious as to what I'd done wrong!

I certainly do pints and if I can get this pesky GT6 running today after

7 months of it sitting idle, it will be mucho Fosters tonight ;-)

Fosters?!? I thought you said pints... ;-)

Regards, Tony

A Triumph of enthusiasm over engineering wisdom?? :-))

I'm a bit slow these days...

I've never been there, surely they have alternatives to Sam Smiths (or is that sacrilege?).

To be honest, I'm having difficulty summoning up the enthusiasm. Have replaced the inlet manifold this morning along with all the hoses and heater valve and run it down the road after checking for leaks.

The front brakes are now jamming on - it's like hitting moles here, fix one and another pops up.

Back to building the gear hobber methinks :-|
