Letter of the MONTH

LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME

I retired from general engineering a few years ago and have gradually got rid of different bits and pieces. Remaining is some of the equipment I used to build a pneumatic device requiring a computer programmer.

Naturally I have tried to sell it but have had no offers so I’d like to give it away. It consists of a SMC ECC50 Programmer and is sitting in a dusty plastic box in my shed.

The box also contains an extender, a bunch of small rams and actuators, plus a CD of instruction manual, a bunch of used switches, a voltage dropper, and Lord knows what else.

This bunch of equipment would be extremely useful to someone building a pneumatic device and I’d like it to go somewhere where it will be appreciated. There are only two conditions.

One is that it be picked up from my home near Pukekohe and the second is that the new owner can show he/she has some important project it is required for.
