Following On...

 ....from our gallivant to Suffolk Parts to buy out that nice Mr Roche, I have been a-sorting assorted-things. Today was Pedals - first to the hot shed to pick out some possibles, then arrange the table on the lawn (much nicer) and literally to wash everything (all very dirty), assess, open, remove capacitors, brush out grot, close, clean leads, list, number, photograph, bag up and then to the attic, with 3 big bags-full to put away. Sorted and stocktaked all the boxes, added 3 more, put everything nicely together by type in lots of nice new boxes...

Aaaaargh. So hot after all that that I had to have another shower, and now I'm just about to start remaking the page HERE

I have given up hopes of having clean hands any time soon, but I do have an awful lot of useful and saleable stuff ready to go.



And, I seem to remember thinking That I would not be bothered with electricals... Sigh...

Pedalling away merrily...

(Edited to Add, all gone now, many thanks for asking. Bookmark here for further clearouts)

John has been Sorting-with-a-capital-S the motors and pedals. They appear to have been breeding in the dark, do not remember taking all these in..
So, here we have an interesting row
Free for postage, UK only please. Usable, complete, need wiring-up
(Edit - 2 have gone already. john @raindropkites.co.uk to request)


Now, I've been busy too. There was a most humungously messy pile of little toolboxes and extension tables under the Big Table, and someone wanted a particular one, so I had to pull these all out, sort, count, remake the page.. 2 days worth, but worthwhile, as there is nothing more difficult to use than a machine with its table missing. Sadly, we could not match the lacking machine. I'll keep looking. I do run a huge "Wants" list

In the process I threw away all the scruffy, oily, disgusting card boxes, washed all the plastic ones, and found all sorts of treasures. Here's the table at about the half-way stage, and HERE is the remade page of boxes
Tables HERE
And this little charmer came with a Frister Rossmann

Note "bodkins" - and who would have thought that Timothy Whites ( a chain chemist) would have sold matches...
