G'day chaps, Matt a forum member put up an old type compressor for sale that he had obtained with view to giving it a good overhaul and home but sadly for him but good for me due to personal issues and time he bought it over from South Derbyshire I think it was to my place near Lincoln in exchange for some trinkets that I have more than 2 of from an ambulance.

Anybody that has been to my place house or bungalow knows you have to allow yourself more than a couple of hours :banghead: ''I am now remembering I had to check out the continuity of a dip switch that I had dug out for Martyn :whistle: '' anyhow it's just as well John my helper was hear because could I find those ambulance rear doors and windows :shakehead: not a chance so it was time for a brew and a chin to at least get some idea of the safe place they had been put months ago when a deal had been done.

Thanks to my helper John and a spare set of eye's from Matt in the end most things came to light but by this time it was tea time Matt then realized I had not even looked at this old compressor in large parts and was worried that it was of know use to me :shrug: he need not have worried when he opened the rear doors of his van what I saw pleased my eye sight but I left the lifting to Matt and John :wink: Matt then left for a long ride home John departed for his tea and I then went in for mine to end a good day so thanks Matt it took a while but we got there in the end :laugh: .

Catch you later. R-Rose :tiphat: .

G'day Robin, yep I got a bit more done on my 88 and while looking while they were tunnelling I came across a steering box that I thought I would rebuild for when Mark nips over to give me a hand changing it over but this one seems ok so I might dig another one out in not such good condition because Martin bought 2 overhaul kits for me off that auction sight so I might as well use them before I loose them :laugh: .

As for this compressor I have an old stationary engine lined up where you can count the compression strokes so if I feel a bit down I just have to sit back and chill with a :wine: .

Catch you later. Brad :tiphat: .
