    Is the knocking Katana crank the one I have here ? That Kevin Orr took the end off for John Jervie's broken racebike ?
    If it is, they'll be chuffed at the Robbie connection.

    Just another piece of "stuff" holding my barn down awaiting return to the Norf Island....

    I'm not sure, it may be the one on the back of my bench, or the one I gave Seddo a couple of years ago.
    They all look the same, is yours rusty all along in one place where it sat open for years?

    Pissing down outside at the moment so my plan of trimming some trees is on hold for the moment.....Not cold though..... The DX mail guy on his GN125 has just been down our street, the sun is popping its head over the horizon and the pair of Tuis that visit us are churping away happily.....A walk down to the dairy at about 0900hrs to pick up milk and bread is on the cards.....Support local and all that guff.....An apple and coffee to start the day off......

    Found tghos contraption on the grass verge while on the way to the dairy some time ago.....At first glance it looks like Berries long lost sex toy and is sticky still......On closer examination it plugs into a car accessary socket. It has what looks like a blue tooth remote ear piece and single v2 usb port wich is slightly manky but fixable.... No branding at all and looks like it is missing the on/off switch but generally in good solid condition....On the front face it has a small LED display,what looks like a phone button, channel _/+ buttons and Qs (Quality of service maybe) button?....At the end of the 6" flexible is a 4 vchannel speaker dongle thingy.....Anyone got anything similar?....I'll pull it to bits and see if I can make up an on/off switch with left over bits I have laying around or just bridge it on and seal it .... End cap comes off easy enough using a flat bladed screw driver....Nice indoor project by the looks......

    Edit-Came aqpart nicely....The circuit boards could do with a clean up.....There's what looks like a 5 or 10amp(can't read the value) fuse at the center contact plunger.....Where the the ear piece goes it is magnetic....It had a rather large dust bunny in it which is surprising because of how well it was sealed.....Wet wipes jot all the gung off the outside casing....On on.....

    hey, this is about projects mate, facebooks about what you had for breakfast and how your piles are behaving in a cold spell.

    On inspection, I'd describe it as evenly spread 360 degree light surface rust. So probably not ex Robbie.

    On to do some welding while the sun shines.

    (See what i did there Spyda - project plus weather report)

    Giving this a whirl between work emails. Lot of surface noise and scratches on this so I am using the PVA glue method of clean-up. basically put it on the TT, spin it up and blob a bunch of glue on it, smear it across the surface, let it dry, peel it off. It should give a demonstrable improvement in sound quality. Plus its kind of fun peeling that shit off. I've had this record since 1978 or so so I want to keep it - even though its a bit knackered.

    Great cleaning method and well worth the effort cos it's The Clash after all.

    Actually I'm seated not far from my largely unplayed vinyl collection (cant trust short people in the house, my last stylus got broken) which should contain a well played but pretty mint copy of that.

    Wonder if I can lock the 'office' door and drag stereo in here?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
