As part of the snug cleanup process, people who were involved identified items that we may not want to keep. We agreed in a member meeting to poll the membership on each item.

  • If you are the owner/guardian etc of the item, please say so in a reply to stop the poll.
  • Please vote and then, if you wish, make a case in a reply post for your stay/go vote.
  • If you would be interested in taking over the item, post that in a reply.
  • Polls will stay open for 7 days.
  • Items with no votes at all will be disposed of.

I inspected this one when the owner brought it in, has a very nice sound and it’s an easy and robust construction inside

Perfect!

That’s exactly why I’ve been holding onto for the last year or so. It was acquired by Howard and as far as I know is untested but should be fixable

Cool! Got speakers for it?

No have had my eye out for them but no luck so far.

You know me I keep lots of projects in the background waiting for the bits to turn up for free it’s a recycling eco thing.

But I’m happy you voluntarily taking this project off me :slight_smile:

I’m thinking to put it down the metal end as I’ve already got some music sorted for the new wood shop

Cool cool, yeah I will find some speakers and take this on - definitely need some tunes while making! :guitar:

Ok- changing my vote… :slight_smile:

Just tested the amp… only the left channel works, and the sound is pretty poor… could it be fixed? Sure… is it worth it? Not for me…

Probably worth 10 minutes poking around inside it to find a fault

Don’t throw it out worst case scenario is that we use it’s transformer as the brake on the new sander assuming it’s powerful enough
