@Lucien Nunes ????

 

[littlespark]

Surely this is a wind up...


I’ve bid on it, but I’m not the highest at a tenner

 

[snowhead]

If it comes with a current calibration certificate I might be interested ?

Philistine. it's a thing of beauty, not to be slung in the back of a Transit like some pikey's copper.

Ad states that only resistance calibration is up to date.

I'll have to get photo of some of the antiques we have in calibrated(I don't think there actually calibrated) stores at work

I always get a buzz when I see testers like that. I have a couple of similar testers I picked up for a steal a few years ago.

[littlespark]

I’ve bid again.... and I’m winning!

nobody push it higher!

 

[Moley]

I've never understood why people bid with so many days to go. It gives other people loads of time to bid against you. I always leave it to the last 5 seconds and shove in the maximum I want to spend. Others don't have time to bid against me then.

Now that is a thing of beauty

 

[littlespark]

I’m testing the water, @Moley
I’ll leave it on my watch list, and see if it goes up. I have a limit, so it doesn’t matter if I bid now, or 5 minutes before it ends.... I won’t be going any higher.

 

[DPG]

I sometimes put a low bid in early on things. Then if I forget to bid later on, I still have a chance.

 

[littlespark]

Grrr. Outbid.

eBay user a***7, don’t do it again!

You could enjoy restoring it and then send it to a good home for retired electric equipment aka LN's electrokinetica museum.

I had dark reddish brown bakelite one of those which I picked up for £7 a couple of years ago. Was going to keep it but I put it on Ebay when I had a tidy out. Got £20 for it so happy with that though.

It was very heavy.

 

[littlespark]

I’m surprised @Lucien Nunes hasnt contributed to this thread.
Maybe he’s already got one...... or twelve!

Here is a website which is a labour of love I assume by a Mr Richards.

 

[littlespark]

7 1/2 hours to go and the old thing is now just shy of forty quid (for item plus postage)
Too rich for me.

Shame. Would have loved to wire the kids up to it.

 

[littlespark]

It’s gone. Own up, who bought it?

 

[DPG]

Was watching, but didn't bid.

 

[James]

Same here.

 

[DPG]

Looks like it went for £27. Wonder if someone cancelled their bid?

 

[littlespark]

No... it was 27 plus 12.95 delivery..... making it near 40 quid.

I bid 15

 

[DPG]

Ah right. Yeah getting a bit dear that.

 

[Baddegg]

It would’ve been worth buying just to take to a cef bacon sandwich calibration day just to watch the “calibration experts” face! ?
