   I looked at the second-hand bulletin boards.   
   Some "possibles".   
   The cost of travel to look would absorb a lot of the second-hand saving.   
   I will go to see family up in "the North" imminently - will look at   
   "doubling-up".  See if can get to see and maybe collect on a journey I   
   am already doing.

   When people ask me for free help with some project I detail the difficulties   
   that I've faced on similar jobs before and suggest they could help with the   
   leg work, like finding a source of your motor. Often the request fades away   
   when they realize how much they have asked for. I've mentioned the machine   
   tools and electronic test equipment I found I needed to recover from   
   stumbling blindly.   
      
   At Mitre the engineers would roughly specify the project and order critical   
   components before asking me to complete the design details and handle   
   construction. That worked out well, they knew the theory and I knew the   
   practice.
