Back to the topic.
Today I was mostly pleased by getting rid of "The Induction Coil of Destiny". Some of you may remember this from SZ where I posted a picture of it under the topic 'Strange what you can find in Barnsley' or something like that.
Here it is again:

After I had bought this thing and got it home I realised just how big it was. In the large mansion type farmhouse where I had picked it up from it didn't look so big, but once I got it home I realised just how huge it looked in a normal sized room. I could hardly lift it either as it weighs around 60 kg with the hundreds of miles of copper wire it contains.
I had planned to sell it on eBay, but then I realised it was impossible to post and I was stuck with it apart from selling it for local pickup only. Uh-oh, expensive mistake purchase.
Then I noticed a similar thing on eBay and asked the seller about it, mentioning I had one and he said he would buy mine! So today he drove down from Thirsk and picked it up and I even made £50 on the deal... result.
And I had a nice toy to investigate and play with for a few months too
