    I got 1 for $100 at an auction, everyone just looked at each other when bidding came up on it so i threw up a hundred could have got it for less. everyone kept asking me what i was going to do with it. had to buy a forklift to move it, luckily they had a 10,000 pound hyster for $1000 too made that off the counter weight so i did well on that auction. and am still selling things. want to buy a runin machine? i will probably just scrap it too. that was 2 years ago.

    I have just about as much attention span on video's as well I tried to shorten it I got this one down to 15 min even Started with an hour of footage or so.

    hence the 2 parts. but when I watch TV I spend longer watching a show on TV then I would like to.

    I think you may have glossed over the silver contacts in those magnetic motor start switches hanging on the wall.
