Indeed...that's a $300 air compressor so great score, Graham!

[cmccuist]

Well done Graham! That really does look to be in new condition.

I took a chance on this Black Max compressor off of FB MP. Gave $100 for it. It needs a pressure switch ($20).

We will see if it's going to work or just be a volume tank for my existing system.

Check the tank with a welder's chipping hammer.

It’s got an ASME section VIII code stamp. I’m going to hydro test it.

I'm starting to become a Bowflex dumbbell hoarder. I found this pair on FBMP this weekend. The lady had $500 as her price, but then for some reason started dropping it drastically. I finally ended up paying her $180! And it came with the bench and stand.

I'm gonna need to check myself on the dumbbells.

I bought a Kwik Lathe on-the-car disk brake lathe for $40. I went to pick it up and got to talking with the guy about cars in general. He had an amazing shop with 5-6 big tool boxes. He says, "hey, i have a bunch of tools that i'm just going to get rid of. Would you be interested in them?" So i say yea, i'll take a look.

He shows me a couple of timing lights, a dwell-tach, and an engine analyzer. I'm like, "yea if you're just going to throw them out." Then, he says, well I have some old air tools that I'm also going to toss. He has a plastic garbage can that is about half full of impacts and air ratchets. I tried to pay him, but he says, no, just take them. It took both of us to load it into my truck!

Milwaukee, Bluepoint, Mac, Husky, one Snap on, Craftsman, and Central Pneumatic.

Crazy score!!

Sold today for $155.
Who buys a mower in November ?? Thought sure I would have it till spring.

Now what are you going to do with it? Type that novel you've always wanted to write?

[porsche930dude]

I'll try to sell it at some point. i had a selectric II a few years ago but nobody wanted it. IBM helped make this town so its big around here there are collectors for it. Even if i end up scrapping it thats better than in the landfill. I see them on ebay from $8. to $600. so who knows

[Tidybuoy]

I would keep it and hire a cute secretary. Ahhh, the good old days.

Bought this Milwaukee mag drill off of FBMP today. Model 4292 on the 4231 base. $50! It's 240 volt though. Weighs a ton. Huge chuck. Too big for my needs.

I already have a Hougen, so this gets flipped after a coat of paint. I also need to replace a couple of handles on the drill.

[1990C4S]

^^^ That is weird. I've used a LOT of mag-drills, never seen anything other than 120 AVC.

Is it 240V 60 Hz? Or 50 Hz?

[cmccuist]

It's 60HZ. Apparently, the drill motor is 120 and the magnet is 240. I've looked all through Milwaukee's manuals for this model and they do have a wiring diagram for 240.

[1990C4S]

That makes sense. It's a good drill, but I've never needed one other than work.

Make it into a drill press? They typically have two speeds, slow, and turtle slow.
