Just to say thanks to all for the tips - a couple of 10µF

Dear oh dear, when is it ever anything else other than caps or dry
joints?

Expert now, are you? Try reading the rest of the thread before jumping in
with your pearls of wisdom.



Only thing is what to do with it now - it's a great lump of a thing.
Ebay?

Sounds like a good idea.



You think so, do you? There's one on eBay in the West Midlands (collect
only) still at *99p* for the next two and a bit days:

120494159176

Which part of 'well used' 'getting on a bit' 'sold for spares or repair'
didn't you understand?

Or, if you can't be asked to go yourself (or put a courier in) to
collect and want it delivered, there's one in Claremont NH for a whole
27 quid and *only 280 quid* shipping, but be quick, there's only an
hour left on it:

280422224601

No manual or remote and sold by a dealer in junk.

There are two others (in the UK) described as being in good condition
which have several days to run. I'll see what they make.


I got a better idea, but he'll need a length of rope with a noose in it
and he'll have to haul it up to the Thames....

If it was attached to you it would be worth every penny. ;-)
