Lucky streak continues....
G'day all. You never know your luck in the big city (or small town in this case). Was checking progress of our new kitchen benches yesterday (not started yet despite being promised by last Thursday
) and noticed a shiny DC standing in the corner. Asked the owner what they were like as I was looking for one for my shed. Said it was an excellent machine but too small for his large kitchen bench making factory and said it was for sale. How much says I (eyes lighting up)? Dunno says he, (looking hopeful). Hasn't had much use says he( which I see is obvious). Changing subject, I says nice twin DC you have there mate. Yeah says he. I was about to offer him 350 bucks when he said, "what about 200 bucks". Poker-faced I said, "arrr...ok sold". 
Here she is in my shed. Yet to be connected to anything. Fired her up and sucked the breath out of the neighbour's poodle.
CheersIf you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

That is a well made machine Sheddy. Most of the cheapies have a bit of hose as a connector duct, that one is solid - nice score.

Great buy Sheddie. Don't forget though, he'll have written the whole cost off on tax.

Sheddie,
Don't forget, you were going to offer him $350. So, notionally, you have already committed to spend that. SO, you still have $150 to spend, lucky you.
BUT that is not completely fair, so assume you still have $100 to spend. What will it be?
