Vintage, Small Folding Chairs
Here are two vintage folding chairs that have been in my family for more than 70 years. They came out from Scotland with us when my family emigrated in 1969. They date back to the 1950s as I remember them from my childhood.

Vacuum Cleaner wheel replacement - Wertheim
Просмотров 235Год назад
When I attempted to buy new wheels for my old Wertheim vacuum cleaner, I found that due to it's age, I couldn't find standard wheels anywhere. The problem being that if you spend too much on parts, you may as well just buy a new vacuum cleaner, so I bought a couple of wheels from the local hardware and used a few bits I had lying around and put some wheels on the old Wertheim.

    @connortraynor1643 I should not have answered your question while still suffering the affects from a head knock I received in a football match. The 86 has a very easy life and I doubt it's gone intentionally over the speed limit for years. Everyone has those moments when they're sitting in the flow of traffic and they look at the speedo and they're over because everyone is slightly over the limit, so you drop back to the limit and everyone zooms past. That's it for me nowadays. I got it as my more daring days were coming to an end. However, you don't have to break the speed limit to have fun in the corners. If I got it twenty years ago it probably would have spent most of its time, way north. If that's what you're asking. Back then I was into some hard core off roading and my old truck couldn't go much faster than 95klms. Probably just as well.

      @bobby2292 12 дней назад

      Unlike other shoes/boots that may be made in two or more factories around the world, Copas are only made in one place so if you have tried them on and know your size, you can buy them from any supplier in the world and they will fit. This allows you to chase the sales. I don't think I've ever seen Copas at a reasonable sale price here in Australia. It's always a risk buying shoes that you haven't tried on as I found with other Adidas shoes. I find that other Adidas styles (Samba for example) are too narrow for me.

    Yes the headrests were standard in the 1972 onwards HQ Holden Kingswood because my dad used to drive a metallic lime green wagon which he bought in 1980. It ran the 202 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine & Tri Matic automatic transmission,ut had the optional ROH mag wheels fitted & one thing which wasn't found too often in the wagons,an electric rear tailgate window. Yes they rusted out pretty bad & my dad had his on the road for 12 or 13 years until it ran out of rego,it sat in the backyard after my dad sold the engine, front bench seats,mag wheels, etc then he gas axed it with an oxy acetylene cutting torch because it was just full of rust & he couldn't afford the registration for 2 cars. It was my favourite model of Kingswood & it was all of the Holdens which suffered badly from rust until at least the VN Commodore,I have cut rust out of my VY SS Commodores body but it hasn't suffered as badly from rust & it was kept outside for about 12 years,I have had that car for 16 years this year !

      I'm afraid I'm not going to be of any help to you. We initially tried to figure out how to get the machine sewing but our lack of knowledge and an inability to find information lead us to giving up and having the machine as a display only. I also believe there may be a crucial piece or two missing which threw us also. I honestly don't know what replacement shuttle, bobbin and needle it uses. I wish you luck in your endeavour. 100 plus years of lost knowledge or missing information is quite a mountain to climb.

    • @tracyakafrog
      @tracyakafrog 3 месяца назад

      THank you for getting back to me. Ive watched your video a few times. It is so pretty too. Sorry to hear that its missing pieces. It is really hard learning for me also but Im trying since I really want to sew with mine. . If you decide to get it going again Im learning of lots or resources. Maybe I could help you someday. I see now you actually have 7 bobbins, one in the machine and 6 in the little box. Would you possibly be willing to part with one or two of them and a spare needle? I would love to be able to get mine in service and using it to sew. YOu would have more than enough to use it if you try again at getting it to work and I could get my machine sewing that works perfectly I just don't have those parts for it to put it to use. Usually people like two bobbins at a min who sew a lot, one to sew one to fill up to replace the one you are sewing with so you don't have to stop everything you are doing. I would be thrilled if you would consider that. . Maybe if I learn enough I could even help you with video chat, mine is not broken but it will be a lot to learn about it and maybe I can learn enough to help you or point you in the right direction. Anyway, beautiful machine and thanks for the video! @@bobby2292

    Around 4:40 is the incorrect use of the screws. The flathead/phillips need only be fingernail tight, it is by tightening the plastic knobbed screw that you actually clamp the blade. Also strokes with any pressure applied should be made toward the blade, not back and forth 🙂

Our machine also has a pin cushion which is attached to the timber base to the right of the securing bolt which has to be swung away from the metal base as it stops the base from lifting.

      Ouch. To pay AUD $14400.00 or even $2500.00 for insurance you'd have to be doing a lot more to your car than upping the power by somewhere between 15 and 20 kilowatts. I'd imagine that insurance anywhere in the world is a minefield of risk factors. The less risk for the insurance company, the cheaper the insurance. We do have specialist insurance here in OZ and they are very good. Owned and run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

      @bobby2292 11 месяцев назад

      G'Day, I'm not sure in which part of the world you live in but I'm in the Australian Capital Territory. I got my exhaust and it was fitted at Neal Bates automotive. They build cars for the 86 race series here in Australia. I don't know what brand they use so I'm not sure if I'm giving you any help. My exhaust has uneven headers. The advantage for me is that apart from more Kilowatts it gives more torque a bit lower down in the rev range. Better acceleration in town (I don't have to rev the cr@p out of it to get it to boogy) where I do most of my driving. My car sprints a bit better but has less top end speed than the race cars. That's the opinion of someone who builds 86s for racing. The combination of the exhaust and the Open Flash tune eliminated the torque dip that people talk about with the 86. I'd advise that as you dive and enjoy the heck out of you 86 for a little while, have a think about what you want from the exhaust. The torque kicking in a little lower down in the rev range is nice and I doubt you will notice less top end speed. After all I am talking about what a race driver wants from a racing car.

      I'd recommend the Tomei UEL. It's one of the better made headers. Unfortunately you have to import it from JP because tomei USA split off from tomei JP and make inferior quality parts now. I think it was $700 on Nengun with $200 shipping last I checked. You of course need a tune as well. I got a 2017 86 almost a year ago and yep, still so happy whenever I drive it :D

      @@ralkia I bought the TOMEI UEL and a new Cobra Sport exhaust with Carbon Tips. I had it remapped and not only does it sound great it has lost its torque dip. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Hello there, I stumbled upon a Gritzner at a yard sale today. It seems to be the same model. I did not have a chance yet to look at it in depth yet, however, I did notice that the needle does not move when I turn the handle. In the video, you mentioned that you can engage and disengage the needle, so I hope that might be the only reason... Could someone maybe explain how I can engage the needle? Thank you very much in advance and have a lovely day!

      Sorry for my tardy reply. If you watch my video and go to 2:25 you will see the big wheel that's polished around the outside. On the inner part of the wheel you can see a lever. It's bare metal and stands out from the black paint. If you flip the lever it engages the mechanism that drives the needle up and down.

      @@bobby2292 Not to worry and thank you very much! I found the lever. It is still not working, so I had a family-friend have a look at it is possible, that a piece or two of the mechanism are missing so I will have a closer look today.
