I need to clear some space. Does anyone have a use for any of the following? Free to anyone who needs them for a project. Collect from Shropshire/Staffordshire border:
- Big Hobart filter coffee machine. Stainless steel. Missing carafe. Some kind of fault with the electronics, but it looks cool. I meant to fix it, but never got round to it.
- Centrifugal fan from a building's air conditioning system. V-belt drive (no motor included). Screwed to a piece of kitchen worktop. I used it to make a flamethrower once. Could be good for making a forge.
- Homemade dust extractor. Sort of like a vacuum cleaner that has a huge capacity and doesn't need bags. A high school project of mine. Now unused.
- About 10 kg of coach bolts, maybe more. Probably metric, but can check. Zinc plated. Stupid sizes for most purposes (i.e., short), which is why I haven't used them. No nuts.
- Lots of timer mechanisms with 1 rpm and 5 rpm (I think) synchronous motors.
- Brook Crompton 1.5 kW three phase motor, 4 pole. Dodgy bearings and currently dismantled, but I think it ought to work. More robust than many of the latest motors (the ones where the fins break off).
- Landis & Gyr sequence controller. This is a series of switches operated by cams driven by a synchronous motor. I think it controlled some kind of industrial process. Bit of a museum piece really.
- Various low voltage panel meters. Bakelite surrounds. Let me know what you need.
- Hundreds of tiny plastic containers with a hinged lid. Slightly smaller than a 35 mm film container, with a dessicant lining. Someone must have a use for these?
- Grey-green Aladdin paraffin heater. Beat up, maybe good for spares?
- Various washing machine motors.
- Funky "Benjamin" industrial enamel lamps, in poor condition. Need restoring.
- Flamco Flexcon Top. One of these. No idea of its condition or really what it does:
- Petter A high fuel tank bracket.
And probably more to follow soon...
E-mail me (cdt22 AT cantabgold DOT net) or post here if you want anything.
Best wishes,
Chris
