LOL! If his intructors read this thread the guy will probably quit after a week…

Yesterday, low flying FreightLiner..

So by the end of the week he will be well versed in bubbles for the spirit level (certainly, spherical or cuboid?*) bags of sparks for the grinder (they’ll be here after lunch), long weights/stands, tartan paint (MacDougal or MacDonald?), buckets of propwash, yards of flightline, lefthanded screwdrivers, glass hammers, metric AND imperial adjustable spanners…….
*…Spherical? We only have cuboid ones, we’re waiting on the sparks for the grinder so we can knock the corners off & make the round ones…

So this pile of ‘junk’ is now worth more as it is, than the artist formerly known as Twilight Tear 😮
Well, that kinda depends.. as there is apparently some case to be made that part of the junk pile is in fact part of the other one…. alledgedly.
Had a brief drone around the patch in the Rapide back in ’89 or ’90
That is a lincoln turret Ben

Found a new leather drive belt just like the original for $19.95 & ordered new felt wipers for the apron/cross slide etc.

The new (to me) SB had evidently been stood for at least 25 years or more & I just discovered it still had the original (very dry) leather drove belt it left the facory with… which just vaporized itself in a cloud of dust while I was messing about with it. 🙁
Just as well I planned on fitting a new rubber belt… I’ll be at the auto store in the AM for a 63inch sepentine fan belt which is the standard fix these days.. just takes a bit of disassembley/reassembley to get it fitted… so I can take a look at the headstock bearings while I’m doing that 🙂
