Jerzy Woking Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Today I sold two VHS video recorders that had been in my loft for years. Advertised them yesterday on the local Facebook Market place. Both sold within an hour. Woman picked one up-drove from Dagenham. Other buyer came up by train from Deptford in SE London. I met him at the station as the buses to my village are only running every 2 hours. Nice bloke, and was happy to tell me he that he resells them on Amazon. Must do well out of it, and good luck to him. Anyone that makes a three hour round trip on a train for a £20 Toshiba VHS deserves to make a profit.

Iamgroot Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 May have offered these before, but kicking around my shed are two brand new front wishbones for a facelift Freelander 1 if anyone wants them, also a brand new handbrake cable for the same but I can't remember which side it's for or if that even matters. And I've got a wiper motor for a Sierra sapphire, just remembered. Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Re VHS videos, a very professionally run charity shop near me always used to sell every blank VHS tape they were given, even at a price of £1.99 a pop - I presume because they are more or less impossible to get otherwise. To clarify, these were unused NOS ones usually still in the cellophane wrapper - I assume magnetic tape lasts a long time if stored correctly.

I remember back in the day, when zip drives and such like were the mass storage of choice...Banks etc used to store all their data on magnetic tapes, the theory was that they didn't corrupt and they lasted indefinitely, that was theory anyway, especially as i vaguely remember dvds had a shelf life of about 10 years then they'd just not read/write properly.

Google says it is still a thing, sort of : http://shorturl.at/wLUV7 In a similar way, photographs captured on film (and stored correctly) last a hell of a lot longer than digital ones stored on cards or hard drives. The files are just too prone to corruption over time, as the storage medium starts to degrade. Copying them to fresh locations every so often does prevent a lot of the issues, but if you have several hundred/thousand of them it's a bit of a chore. I suppose photos stored in the "cloud" would last indefinitely, but you haven't really got any direct control over them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangernomics Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Two four drawer filing cabinets. Metal heavy and actually still not that scruffy even though they’ve lived in the garage for a few years.Collection from Prestwich m60 junction 17. You’ll need a hatchback/trailer as about 5ft tall.

Yes still have it but I also have that Haynes manual. Don't really need two. I suppose I could have a best one for indoors and a grubby one in the garage like I do for the Triumph. See if anybody else wants it first but if you're going to chuck it away I'll take it off you and sort out something for postage. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can keep it in the garage with the stash of other books of lies, so if no takers it's yours. It has been used when I owned a Felly so may have a couple of thumbprints but is in otherwise good order Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainagain Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I was at my dad’s recently and he reminded me that this is still sitting in his garage. A nice piece of test kit. Last time I powered it up, all the modules worked bar one but I can’t remember which one. Free to a shitter. Collection only in Fife due to size. sofarsogood and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a test rack for working on electrical/electronic kit. There’s a power supply, a volt meter and I think a signal generator and a counter. If you zoom in on the pics the units have labels I think. I’m on my phone so I can’t see them very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we will provide outdoor storage for any ramps that are in the way. Then any shiter who needs ramps can borrow them or take them to keep providing we are not down to our last pair. The scheme is under way and with have 3 pairs at the moment. The drawback is they need to arrive in Buckingham MK18 chodweaver, sofarsogood, richardmorris and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
