...but look what I found...



I had this salvaged piece of medical equipment standing in a corner for a few years. Decided to take it apart to see what electronics were inside. Got a lot more than I expected.

Any idea what equipment it was to start with?

Just out of my experience. For some time I had an access to the recycle bin (!!!) in big medical institution nearby. It was a Eldorado, Klondike and Bonanza for me as a tinkerer and a hoarder. Even broken parts and pieces had a fully functional expensive and precision built components that were fun to recover and reuse. All was made in US, Switzerland or Germany. Dream...
See if you have Hospital or University or Research facility close by and if they have some junk bin outside.

I am not a hoarder. I am holding it for someone. Just don't ask who.

Don't worry, you'll find them one day, you just have to be patient.

the true value of home ownership is having a place to stash stuff.

There's a member on this forum who has 30-40 lathes. I think he believes that, too. Plus the true value of other people's home ownership is to stash stuff at their places, too.😀

I need a bigger home!

Possibly all watch makers lathes, LOL.

It's @Mcgyver who has the large number of lathes. Link to thread:

I think I have about 20 lathes at the moment.
