So, Twickenham<->Chieveley<->Andover tomorrow?
Well, if you need another where the trigger/sweep doesn't work and I CBA'd to look at it...
I'll probably go to Chieveley tomorrow, since it currently looks like it won't be raining. Doubt I'll be selling anything other than pre-orders, though.

Yes keeping an eye on the weather for that too. Might take that off your hands. Figure I need a parts mule. I have a bearer with me to carry it tomorrow :-DD
I only noticed the Andover location after I paid for delivery so have asked if I can pick up anyway. I got 10% off that price with the current offer as well which was nice.
I prefer a considerably lower price but it looks like it doesn’t work through user error rather than something electrical. Of course YMMV on that.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of your 465B when it arrives, is it supposed to be working or was it a spares / repair unit?
Yeah what was that 10% offer all about then? My son had an offer, but I never had, could have used that as, although I'm currently having no luck on TE gear, I did win a Commodore calculator, one that I was not even aware that they made, a financial one that compliments my scientific one's. It has a broken battery connector, which I have a few knocking around, so no biggie, I may be wrong however, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the older red LED display, special function Commodore calculators are actually appreciating in value right now, while LCD calculators of all makes are getting really cheap.

But bd139, you can't drop a juicy hint like that and not elaborate!, what is this book you speak of?!
(currently 6 smirnoffs, 1 shochu, and 2 beers in to the long road of inebriation.. fun! )

That is a suitable amount of alcohol to ingest before hitting eBay with the credit card :-DD
As for the book, been mulling the idea of writing a book for about ten years. Subject matter is basically all those bits of info that everyone should know before doing a Udemy “how to code” tutorial. I encounter a lot of people who can’t even visualise what a computer or network looks like past some opaque magic and expect me to fill the gaps in :-DD

Well if you change your mind and decide to write "How to Live With a Redhead and Survive" I'll co-author it with you. :P :-DD

And I'm in as co-author of the sequel "How to Live With a Japanese Wife and Survive" :-DD

I would buy that based on my social circle at the moment. The woman in question was offended at my mention of Wagamama being quite good on a hiking trip and has made it a mission to take me to some decent Japanese restaurants. Going out again with her on Tuesday… :scared:

I thought Japanese wimens were submissive and meek? No?

LOL the one I’m friends with is a deeply cynical vicious sick and twisted individual. Conversion diverged into anal polyps and how good laughing gas is last time. Just how I like them :-DD

Use code BAG10OFF on checkout for buy it now items. Worked for me.
As for the scope, it’s an untested one but it looks like user error. I mean it could be knackered still but it’s complete. Time will tell.
Try Hp calculators. They discontinued the HP 35S and 50G now which means everyone is going mental for RPN calculators :palm:
