I am desparate
« on: September 27, 2017, 06:24:58 PM »
I really want to replace the DL06 in my home built CNC machine with a BRX, but I need a high end one and my wife will divorce me if I spend another 500 bucks on the machine right now.  So I have gotten busy selling off stuff I don't need on Ebay to raise the money.  Can't sell the DL06 until I have the BRX either. Sad huh?  What's a good kidney worth these days?

Is she a good cook?
I retract my earlier statement that half of all politicians are crooks.  Half of all politicians are NOT crooks.  There.

I believe it's illegal to sell a wife on e-bay

Certainly immoral, but the need for a well-controlled CNC machine is certainly a strong temptation. I think a certain degree of grace is in order for our struggling brother.

I've got some new removed from equipment DC drives, some Terminator I/O modules, some used very expensive Igus servo cable with 4 #14 conductors and two braided shield twisted pairs. A couple of motor starters. The kind of stuff all automation guys would have!

I even have a couple of my patented boat bottom paint removal scrapers at a serious discount price. Got a boat?
