Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

We had our yearly swap meet in Toowoomba on the weekend. This is like a holy pilgrimage for me. There are 1800 stalls to visit, so a lot of walking, but always a good day.





Always looking for interesting radios.


Press for the workshop. $50


Engine analyser, works. $40


Picture tube restorer. $5


20MHz 2 trace cro, works. $20






Love a good swap meet or clearing sale.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now.

Nice finds there, Gizmo!  

The brilliant tractor-seat is still a good seat then and now.





My one is a reproduction, but the seat style has to go down in history as one of the best designs ever.  I mean - no padding at all - the thing is made out of STEEL - but it it actually really comfortable to sit in.

All those holes got me wondering, are they for letting the hot air escape?

Toowoomba swap meet, been to that one a few times and never got all the way round the lot, just too big, been to a lot of swap meets in the past always fun.
Have a few of those old seats, still have the old tractor attached to them.
