Semi OT Raising Bug Funds

May 10, 2004 9 Replies

Its warm outside, and I would would enjoy seeing the road through the windshield of my 67. Need to raise a few repair funds. My mom said I have some of the junk in her basement if it is worth anything. I just got back on Ebay, and not sure if it is worth much, but listed a vintage Puritron Air Purifier. This thing is so old, it has tubes. I plugged it in yesterday and turned it on, and it still worked after all of these years. (Over 40 years old) Probably nobody is interested, but here is the link.

How many stations does it get? :)

Got any old camera equipment down there? I might be interested.

It seems like I saw a couple of old slide projectors, and they used to have a reel to reel movie projector, but not sure if they still have that down there.

Not my kind of stuff, but don't shy away from ebay. Best to you. I hope it all helps raise some funds for the ACVW.

Pretty much my feelings too, Bill. Why not add a little part to the auction "donations accepted no sale necessary". Make it work with Pay Pal and I'm in for a $100 for ya. No kidding.

Hi John:

I appreciate the offer, but don't want to take away from anyone else Bug funds. If I run across any camera equipment, (there may be some down there somewhere) you will be the one to get it.

Bill, what is it you are needing for the bug?(partswise)...we can always check our "stashes" for parts you need... JT

Actually just minor stuff. Probably just need to raise a couple of hundred dollars to get it to the shop to do the stuff that I don't know how to do like the generator problem, and to find out why when it does run, I am not getting much power to the wheels. I appreciate all the help that you and John have offered.

When I was trying to find some other pics of the Puritron, I found a couple of other site related to vintage cameras that you might be interested in.
