Scrap bin find.

I was hoping to post pictures but my new cheap phone is crap and my computer does not recognize it when plugged into a USB slot so it will be going the journey very shortly.

Any way I am really peeved I can not post the pictures but I will try and get them posted.

A while ago at least a couple of years actually probably the last real mechanical work shop was shut down it happened all most over night. The building it was in was condemned as being full of asbestos. Every thing was ripped out the bulk of it was scrapped the machines went out on the back of lorries and were never seen again. I managed to salvage a
Myford ML10. But everything else went the journey.
Every day I crawled around in the scrap skips picking up any thing I thought would come in handy for home use.
To day I was in the shed again trying to make room OK I said to myself time to be brutal anything I have not used or opened in the last twelve month goes in the bin.
Eventually I came across a load of black boxes in different sizes and some really nice wooden ones under a pile of gunk. The first one I pulled out and blew the dust of had on the lid

Moore
and
Wright

I really do wish I could post pictures I really do.

a) I'm envious, both of the possible contents of the M&W boxes, and the ML10.

b) I generally get photos off my phone by emailing them to myself.

You should have "Paint" if you have a windows PC.
If you have, I'll talk you through it, if you like.......

Thanks for the offer but that wont help the problem is my home computer does not recognize the phone. When I plug it in to a USB port my computer just goes ape sheet.
I have never had this problem before with a mobile phone. I paid £130 for it obviously a waste of money. I looked at emailing the pictures that,s not going to work either.
So no pictures and a phone destined for the scrap bin. At my age I don,t have the time to waste on things that don,t work out of the box.

Ok I am happy to run with both posts.

The ML10 had very little use it was only used occasionally mainly for thread cutting. To be honest since acquiring it its spent most of its time sitting under a bench.
The Moore and wright boxes are a different story there are quite a few of them and the contents of the boxes are like new.

I have tried emailing the photos to my self It dont work. Phone is due to be binned and a new one purchased.
