bd139, I think I'd have been inclined to used some hot snot on that old tranny and tried that first before buying another. It was electrically sound and not over heating?

It's something I just can't unsee ...  :(

I'm just wondering what will travel up the hose if I get the vacuum out......

Dust elephants, not dust bunnies... a common infestation in that region. You'll need the BIG Shop-Vac, some brain bleach and a 24-inch crowbar in case there's a bull and it decides to charge.  :-DD

You mighht want to get the .303 out of the closet just in case they stampede...   :scared:

That just makes a neat hole and they carry on charging. You need a 12-gauge shotgun loaded with No. 10 shot, you have to disperse them back into free floating fluff.   :)

Don't own any firearms.  Never needed to.  In all my life I've only fired two rifles - both .22 - and even then only about 6 rounds in total.

I do have the crowbar and shop vac, which is all that I will need.  Australians are generally used to things wanting to attack, so this shouldn't be a problem.  Brain bleach is in short supply, though.  What generally works is to hit the neighbourhood for garage sales/yard sales and find yourself a bargain or two.  EBay is rarely adequate these days.

Was definitely not electrically sound. The tap was loose, insulation was cracked and it smelled funny when powered up. Also hot snot tends to melt and deteriorate over time which could have caused an earth fault. New transformer was only £9 so worth it. Also not a fan of captive mains leads so I usually swap them out for an IEC socket where possible.

Specmaster:
Yeah, I tend to agree, the IEC socket makes for a quick disconnect if you need to at anytime, also makes for neater storage if you are unable to have the test gear permanently on the bench it allows for swapping of bits of kit according to the task in hand.  :-+

beanflying:
