Hey everyone, first off, I'd like to thank everyone here for all of the truly great info that's been posted. What a great site for us tool hoarders. I'd like to find out if anyone here has ever used, or possibly still uses an old Hunter Aligner? I have a 1972 Hunter Tune-A-Line machine that's...

+1 for the box of plug wires and terminals, these things always break at the worst time.

I'm surprised Idanha Fire isn't still using this truck... Not much going on there these days with the ailing timber industry here. Beautiful drive through there though. One of the most scenic highways in the state. Cool truck. Must have a diesel! PSD's are fine, but more complicated on the...

From what I have found out, there are not many options for a cheap, safe way to dispose of the leaded glass. I suppose most people chunk it in the garbage to go to a landfill, but with each CRT glass containing so much lead, I'm just not too comfortable with that. " Glass to glass" recycling...

Anyway, one thing I think you would be surprised to know is that you can harvest copper, aluminum, wire, and mixed metals from CRT monitors and TVs. I have been doing it ever since I started seeing people throwing them out. It takes me about 5 hours to make a little over $100. I snag any CRT...
