Thanks for your comments, I know how the bug bites just ask Goodfellow after his Sun equipment posts!!::):thumbup: One point which maybe someone knows the answer, on the WF7 the small ball bearing which holds the socket in place is missing, is it possible to replace these and if so how are they...

Having seen various threads on Plomb tools in here I took a punt on eBay for this little set. At £ 0.99 for the lot I couldn't go wrong. Well they arrived today and they are great, it is interesting to think what history they have and how they got over here. If I am right these were made back in...

Nice write up Moose, thanks. The only suggestion I would make for the Novice audience is that you take a few moments before taking plug caps off to put as bit of tape with the cylinder number on so that you get the correct lead on the right plug when you put it back together. Dave

D Carr That is some machine I think I will need to practice first on my toy before I NEED one of those! Billymade Some sections of the Sun Tester seem to work fine, I have problems with the scope but I have no doubt in time it will work, just that I am not as prolific as Goodfellow...

Its a Myford ML 7 and had been in the same family since it was bought new in 1951 ! I've never used a lathe so i have a bit of learning to do, it seems a whole new vocabulary! Dave

Is this the usual question you also get asked when you bring some new equipment home? Must admit my wife was not as excited as me about my latest purchase. Still I will have a lot of fun finding out what I really needed it for. Dave

Hi Autoguy Good to hear from you I spent two and a half years in Riyadh in the mid 1970's working on the installation of the Batha Channel in what was the then main street Al Batha. I lived near sitteen street near the football ground. I guess I would not recognise the place now ! I have fond...

What started as a simple interest fuelled by this board is turning into an addiction! How could I resist them at £0.99 each ? Dave

The car is a 1959 Austin Healey 3000 Mk 1 which I have owned for 38 years!!! In reply to Goodfellow here are some detailed shots of the tester, I hope the rest of you dont get too bored. The display should sit further back on the roll cab but I had to move it forward as I didnt have too much...

Home at last, still plenty to do to get it working correctly!! Dave

Just a few you may have seen before, sorry it is not as tidy as some of the offerings but it gets a bit of use! Dave

Thats a new term to me. Whats the micro mesh system? Thanks Dave PS Good work on the box it will look great

Goodfellow Its getting better, still some way to go with cleaning/renovating the switch area but it is on the way One plus is that I've got the scope working and tidied up the wiring to the strobe gun Dave

Goodfellow Had a quick try this morning but then got called away with "family"things. Will give it another try tomorrow. Initial efforts quite productive but I still have a problem with the black symbols near the mode selector switch which seem to have worn away a bit with use. I'll try to get...
