In need of a shave..

We had a fancy Videostar back then, with a wireless remote.

That is my main concern. In which case, it might be useful to extend the duct to further back. Suck it and see I guess.

Nah, Wallace and Gromit were there.

Because you were too tight to pay for a video with a wireless remote?

Good grief! How do you find enough time to watch them all? We have Freeview, and I only today remembered we have Prime, so gave that a test to see if it still worked. Freeview gives us 130-ish channels, and too much choice already.

Did they set off, with the intention of making it a landing expedition - The answer is a definite NO! Rather it was a shake down test of an entirely new delivery system, previously, it had been a very risky race, to actually be the first land on the moon. This time around, a moon landing had...

What, after all these years?

No, out of the rear. It is a wide oval, with contra-rotating blades. It discharged out of the duct, at the rear, via a square duct, about 2 feet up from the ground. The wind would then blow it all over. I'm thinking if it discharges straight onto the ground, it will perhaps not be blown about...

The suggested 800w, at best, would satisfy, my 100 to 300w base load, during the most of the day, if the sun was shining - and I would have surplus if not stored. Worthwhile, probably not.

What we don't know, is if Kool has any transport available to him, to collect these items? While the offers of donations from forum members might be genuine, again the problem is transport - distance, makes this not worthwhile, except for those living not to far from Kool. I checked the...

Lawnflite 703. It's a twin blade cutting deck, and it's basically shot. It discharged via a slot in the deck at the rear, with a plastic duct, leading up and over the back axle, into a big collector bag hooked onto the back, which I never used - simply because our grass is so thick and heavy, it...

It looks like a BESA threaded rear entry conduit box. A brass 2BA screw, might fit one of the threaded lugs, to provide an effective earth terminal.

Your 'links' don't actually link to any items?

That has been developing for many years!
