    Hydrovane 9PU issues...

    Hi All, I've got an old Hydrovane 9PU and recently, I switched it on, pressure came up, there was an audible bang (maybe more like a really loud pop?) and pressure went down to about 20psi and it sounds.... wrong. Like air's going somewhere it shouldn't. Any ideas? Cheers, Wilson.

    Can't find the water valve in the street. Any ideas?

    I've got a dicey main water valve in my house. 25 years ago I shut it off to change the kitchen tap and when I switched it back on, it leaked pretty badly. I called a plumber and asked for it to be changed but its "lead" apparently (or the piping is) and plumbers don't do lead anymore. The...

    What are the definitive smells of the 70s?

    I was chatting with the wife about what would be the definitive smells of the 70s. I came up with Kensitas Club, Izal, whatever it was they used to clean hospital floors back then, turps, glossed radiators (I still feel ill thinking about that), balsa wood & Airfix kits. The wife mentioned warm...

    Gas stove

    My folks bought this to cook on during the 70s blackouts (we only had an electric hob). I thought I might take it camping. Does anyone know what that gas tap fitting is?

    Hi All, Has anyone taken apart a Stannah stairlift ? Specifically the round rail? It *looks* like its pinned together with roll pins. Can these be drifted out or must they be drilled? Cheers, Wilson.

    Hi All, I sold two tins of this a while back & both were bought by woodworkers. I have no idea what they do with it (I'm a metal worker) but the RRP is £350 a tin so I'm guessing its good stuff. Just found another two NOS tins in the archaeological backscatter that is my garage. Call it £112...

    So, I've got a couple of Rolls Royce 24V starter motors from... something military. They are very nice indeed and run very quiet. But they take 24V and 200- 300 Amps when doing useful stuff. I'd like to incorporate them into maybe a small home made milling machine or planer table or...
