I've just bought a new non-gen carb for a honda for £7 inc vat and p&p
I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Ridiculous really. Some poor kid earned 5 grains of rice putting it together.
Quality of it was good enough

I'm not going to like that post ... how come I never get those sorts of bargains?

Agreed.
I get offered loads of stuff for free. Usually stuff the scrap man refused to take eh @Grassman ?

The compressor needs a motor, so may not be such a bargain after me looking up the price of motors
, the press was not considered safe by the company HSEQ bods
but every cloud has a silver lining,and I got it

Bit worried the lathe is too small

I knew I needed a bigger workshop, just didn't realise how much bigger.

I'd struggle to get the press in the barn at the moment, let alone the rest of it.

I'd be in for the lathe, but my 4sqmm armoured cable to the workshop vetoed it. The need for Drax B to be re sited in the home paddock & using the loader bucket to put shillings in the meter were additional considerations, but thanks for the thought

The only two items I was interested in; Compac 60 tonne press made £540 and the Hydrovane 7.5kW compressor made £190 (no idea what hours or condition it was)

I was planning to put a last minute bid in, but got distracted with something else. By the time I remembered the show was over.I know but I don't have more spare
its funny how things can turn out times @holwellcourtfarm .
id go to, and use quite a few on line auction houses to buy tools and such with the greatest intention of selling them on but most of the time once something makes it this far it ends up a prisoner...
anyways, i never heard of Eddisons before so i had a bit of a gander through that asset sale which happened to have a particular lathe that i have been after for the last 3 years.
so i registered with them and signed up for the auction and as it turns out i bought myself a lathe this morning., along with a few other smaller things.
so i take this opportunity to say thanks for the inadvertent link sir, much obliged.
