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. JAQ |

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. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

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.  Cheers Aaron Off The Grid |
