"Greenlee punch or Nibbler?"
Such relevant questions.
From two nonbuilders...
Kiss my yes, Jimmie boy.
My hometown is where the Greenlee company IS and I've even been
in that part of Greenlee and SEEN those punches being made...in
1949.
You've actually SEEN them being made? I'm really impressed. I guess
that makes you something of an expert. I've actually sold them but I've
never SEEN them being made.
[that part of Greenlee is just two large rooms of punch-making
and grinding machinery, very very small compared to the Main
Building they are located in] For that matter, I've also seen part of
the GC Electronics operations when their wire-stripper line was still a
part of it...and known two who worked there (in 1956). [GC is now a
merge with Walsco and most of their 'products' are produced by others
on an OEM basis]
Did you snaffle any Q-Dope?
I have a small collection of Greenlee punches which have been
gathering rust and dust.
That's believable. Apparently, you don't actually build anything. I'll
bet you've SEEN people build things.
That means BUYING chassis somewhere...or
snaffling ("swipe") them.
You mean steal? I don't do that.
Heavens, no! That would be a SIN and you'd still be mumbling
Hail Marys...
Don't you consider stealing to be wrong, Leonard?
The excuse to be given will be that he "bought it at a flea market"
or some hamvention for "a very low price." :-)
How is that an "excuse", Len? It's the truth, in some cases. In others,
chassis, panels and other parts were recycled from other sources.
Riiiighhhht.
What does your response indicate, Len?
For example, the transmitter section is built in the case from a BC-191/375
tuning unit, with a new panel made from a piece of sheet aluminum. Total cost
about $2.
Riiiiighhhht. :-)
