Holy shit, I'm not surprised at it not working. It's like I said in another post, some people lack brains and what makes it even worse is that more than likely some stupid dipshit will more than likely buy this as well  :palm:

Hey, at least you can see everything that's been robbed off it before you waste your time & money... and if I were in dire need of something it actually has, I might pay more than I want to for it to save myself myself the guilt of robbing it off a decent example.  :-//

Just sayin'...

might, I say... might. If I were really desperate for that part.

Yep, you'd have to be really desperate for that part as after seeing the clear abuse it has been subjected to, their is real and dangerous possiblity that that part is going to be equally knackered one way or another  :-DD :-DD

Maybe it's a some sort of a demolition procedure for old instruments.

I remember that back in the day Xerox had a scrap chassis sledge hammering procedure.
Even an accountant of some sort was on site verifying how it goes.

after installing the fan they all measure at 105-100 F.

while doing this i had a feeling that someone somewhere was talking about me.

no idea who it could have been, but thankfully you fine gentlemen would NEVER do such a thing.

Calling us "gentlemen" in itself is a stretch.  >:D

He doesn't have a choice - housing association property, therefore not his call.

Uggghhh... missed that part. Is that like subsidized/government managed housing over here, or like "Deed Restricted" "Homeowner's Association" crap where you supposedly own your property but some dipshit PTA queen has final say over the color of your drapes if they face the street?

I'm assuming the former... but after some of the horror stories I've heard, I wouldn't be surprised if "approved contractors" were also part of the latter over there.  :palm:

Actually it's neither, the house used to be owned by the Local Council and I rented it from them. Then they transferred all their housing stock to a housing association as part of the Governments great idea of let's sell off as much as we possibly can to raise some cash for itself and then put more money into the hands of wealthy people via the tenants rental payments.

That rather misrepresents the rĂ´le of a housing association. Housing associations are set up on a statutory not-for-profit basis as suppliers of rented property that grew out of the Victorian philanthropic schemes that various people such as Peabody set up, and later stepped in to manage former council housing stock precisely as a way of getting it into the hands of organisations with some positive social ethos as opposed to for-profit commercial landlords. Nobody is getting rich off your rent, indeed housing association properties are often rented out, as was council housing, at significantly less than market rents.

I used to know a penniless artist (now deceased) whose work is on my walls who lived in a Peabody flat in Brownhart Gardens, just around the corner from Bond Street (for the 'Merkins that's like saying "just off 5th Avenue"). Needless to say, a penniless artist wouldn't be even able to consider paying a fully commercial rent there. Current purchase prices for property in that area start at several million and just go up.

While that may be true in theory, as a housing association tenant I can tell you that the reality falls some way short of that.
