Heading for the scrap pile

tommyoil

As sad as this is and it pains me to say it nevermind do it, but I will be scrapping whats left of my rad collection. I have been evicted from my shop of 23 years(property being sold) and cant find a home for the remaining homeless rads. I have been able to get rid of most of them but have a few big ones left. I know that MikeT(swampeast) is looking for something and the dimensions sounded close to something I may have. Does anyone know exactly what he's looking for?? Also, black pipe, fittings, crates and crates of black nipples( both schedual 80 and 40)in the neighborhood of a ton. Most of the tools I'll hold on to. Anyone interested in whats left before I scrap them? Its going to kill me to bring them to the dump. Let me know asap or email me at once. Thanks. Tom

Rads are in NJ

I will see them tomorrow morning and will get the exact sizes for you Frank. They came out of a large apt. bldg in Jersey City on a four flight walkdown.

That would be me. Where are you?

Mike T., Swampeast MO

U.S. Capitol. Thin tube rads. Tie rods and smooth nipples--can take them apart.

Catalog for U.S. Capitol rads is here in "The Library". Will send you photos and dimensions tomorrow.

After all those years

of carefully collecting "good stuff" it sure is difficult to have to toss it out, huh tommy! I had to do somewhat the same a few years ago. Of course, 3 weeks later I could have sold a lot of it!!

You're right Tim

Its a heartache. I'll be glad when its over. I've fielded several phonecalls from interested parties so finding a place for everything will come with time. I have ALOT of good stuff that will serve someone well. "Tossing out" anything will be the absolute last resort. The worst part is scrambling to cleanout a place that I've called home for 20 plus years in two or three weeks. I figure two or three more days and I should be good to go. Sometimes letting go of the past ain't easy.

I have been \"advised\"

by "she who must be obeyed" that my first spring project is to remove my "scrap" from HER garden shed. She is right though; I have 4 old boilers and assorted trinkets that have been hanging around for a while now. So... I will be feeling "discard pains" very soon. It will truly remind me of your situation (in more ways than one).
It will be better than the alternative though --- I would have to park my new John Deere out in the weather!!
