I hope someone here can help me find this. I'm looking for a vintage box lid latch like the one shown in the photo below. I either need one with similar patina to this one, or a pair with matching patina. This is going on a very rare mid 1920s custom built RCA Radiola AR-812 super-het radio...

Where the heck did those xmas things come from????

My wife gave me on of the small jump packs for xmas. A few weeks for xmas we happened to be in Lowe's, I stopped at a display for them, just to see what they were all about. A friend had told me his son bought on and was amazed at how well it worked. Come xmas morning I opened a present and...

We use generators to power our ham radio setups when we go out for field day, we've found that the best thing is to deflect the sound, we use a 4x8 sheet of plywood cut in half and hinged together, just set them about 2 feet from the generator between it and where you don't want the sound. It'll...

Hey guys, I wonder if you can give me some reccomendatios for a new HVAC electric heatpump for our home. I feel fairly sure our home warranty company is going to refuse to repair our upstairs heatpump. We've been keeping it patched together for years with the warranty but it looks like the...

Back in the late 60s I remember driving around the Holman-Moody race shop near the Charlotte airport, there was a short road that divided the main building from a big warehouse, when the doors were open as they were most of the time, you could see a cantilever rack that must have been more than...

Re: My garage, repurposed! Those cabinets are going to be great. I'd love to find some like that. LLAP .

We have one of these we bought when we used to go camping. I only used it for #2, but the XYL used it for both. We'd just put kitchen trash bags and let them wrap over the seat, take it off and tie a knot in it and toss it in the trash. The seats are cheap, a google search turned up a bunch for...

Neat but really no need around here, it's never completely dark around, unless the power is off. There are several lamps downstairs that stay on 24/7. Just don't care for walking around in the dark. LLAP .

This one still has the sisores on it, TSA would either take the whole tool or try to break them off. I have a friend that was a pilot for US Air, one day going through the TSA gate they took his finger nail clippers out of his flight bag and broke the nail file off... Now understand that this is...

My dad took an old funnel about 10" across and screwed it zipper high in the back corner of his shop, he attached a length of hose to that ran through the back wall and into a hole he dug and filled with gravel then covered that with dirt. He kept a gallon jug of water sitting on a shelf above...

I've done electrical work, and industrial electrical and electronincs and the industry standard everywhere & for everyone I've worked for over the last 40 years the T&B, Thomas & Betts WT111M was the one crimping tool everyone used. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018LD2PU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I...

That looks like an old Pure station in the background of the top right pix.

I wonder if a signal generator would be powerful enough to drive the transducers, I found this web page with a lot of info about them, http://www.ctgclean.com/ultrasonic-cleaning-faq.php#ten It says 80khz would work for a large cleaning tank, 80khz wouldn't be hard to generate, depends on how...

Building a tank would be the easy part, then you need to find a ultrasonic transducer big enough to do the job on a large amount of water. Here's a link the transducers listed on ebay; http://www.ebay.com/bhp/ultrasonic-transducer I wish I could remember what was used on the big ultrasonic...

I sure hope they know better than to mess with it, I wouldn't change a thing on it, not even wash it, maybe lightly dust it off, but that's all. Leave it alone as found.

Just called their 800 number and was told that the store isn't moving it's just going away. She said I was welcome to order on line or from their catalog... As I said, this *****. .

We've had one of the three W.T. Tool stores in Charlotte for more years than I can remember, I know I went there the first time more than 30 years ago. I went there this afternoon looking for a tool I need, when I walked up to the door I saw a sign that said "This location is CLOSED". What are...

Yep, cleaned the threads up just fine. Thanks again.
