Looking for an intact cover for an analog ammeter like this: The adjustment knob, and two screws.. it's identical to this. Hoping maybe someone has a dusty box of **** or perhaps a dead meter I can get from you. Yes I realize I can buy another meter for under $10.. the thing is that's...

A number of months back I posted in here about building a PSU using a battery charger transformer. Rest assured I did not do it but instead repaired the charger and have been using it :thumbup: However a transformer I did pick up back then I am tinkering with.. came from a long dead car...

Craftsman band saw.. missing the motor and a couple of case knobs. I haven't tried looking up the serial yet, but I don;t recall ever seeing a bandsaw with an aluminum or pot metal shell.

I’ve got a chance to pickup a os-121c/usm-140 scope for $40. Guy says it works like it should.. idk yet about what cables or adapters or how many probes he has with it but.. what do y’all think?

So I'm having a pair of double-paned IGU's replaced this Thursday to the tune of $936. Not the point but worth mentioning I guess? At any rate.. last summer we had the typical humid window sweats going on. Luckily every lower windows sill is granite, so no chance of rot. However that got me to...

So my house, the siding all the way around extends to the ground. Save the front porch area, but you get the idea. Anyway it just dawned on me that I have a good 1’ to 20” of space between the mudsill and ground. I kinda want to remove it like ‘normal’ houses are but it’s not like there’s a lack...

Lucked into a Lifestyle 1800 treadmill for free today. I’ve already disassembled it entirely but wow is this thing simple! And the motor is physically larger than any I’ve seen before..the date code I believe is 1987. Ryobi for scale. Best part is, speed control is a potentiometer using the...

So I'm cleaning up an old 60# scale and doing the typical electrolysis on everything but I'm scare to further damage the dial face. It's not pitted but does have some light surface rust.. and I' not investing money into this guy but merely wanting to prevent further rust damage. I'm not sure...

Howdy gents, Just a quick question.. looking for opinions. I’m not going to use this craftsman radial arm saw. I’m just not comfortable even with the guard and anti kickback prong things. I also can’t sell it for any more than maybe $20 in my area. So what sort of things or uses could a tool...

I wanted to create this thread both to help me keep track of stuff and to hopefully ask some questions and learn more. I pulled an older atx psu from an HP desktop I have out in storage, it's rated for 440w and the base board is a Delta, DPS-460DP-5. I have not been able to locate any...

I like to reuse and/or repurpose… it is known. So don’t flame me too much for this idea, lol. An older Crafstman 6/12v battery charger and jump starter, the ones prolly from the 80-90’s on wheels. An old Heathkit Battery Replacer enclosure. I want to combine the two, I’m not remotely as...

I recently added an ex-PLC enclosure.. you know those hoffman type boxes with the rail mounted components inside? I've been carrying around a railed 24v PSU for years now with no real purpose until now. So I tossed it into the box behind a big chonky controls-type on-ff switch.. why? Well I...

I am replacing some boards in a balcony and I wanted to ask specifically about the ends of the 11 joists that protrude. The outer edge of the balcony had the most water damage. Everything is pressure treated but as we know that doesn’t mean it’ll last forever. Anyway before I put the face...

If You picture the gable end, of a two story gambrel style house.. the small area between the first floors ceiling and the second story’s floor. Does that have a specific name?

So disclaimer.. I don't think that this quite fits in here.. but it might not perfectly fit anywhere. Ok so Im still building out my remote gate opener.. slowly. I breadboarded an LED flasher circuit I found online a month ago that uses an automotive relay versus a transistor.. pretty cool but...

At least I hope this is an arbor press but from my googles it could be a rivet press…..maybe. I found no markings of any kind and no obvious spots for say, a missing tag.

No labels or identifying marks so far.. tried a cursory google image search and found zilch.

So this post is not intended to get into our water composition, softeners and the like. I'm verbally exploring an idea I've had for a while and hoping for constructive feedback. So one of the many ways to deal with iron in groundwater is aeration. For those unaware, exposing water with a higher...

So this is my in-laws down in Alabama.. idk who they had prior nor who the potential new one is but they were told they’d have to replace/upgrade their water heater, central hvac.. then get the pool repaired (in ground needs a liner), and most of their deck replaced. Now this is Alabama, but...
