The Sweet N' Sour Of Yard Sales

[rivronjack]

Bill, when working on that Ryobi where were your safety glasses? You can use safety magnifier glasses to see better too.

Thanks. Good info.

@rivronjack You are correct, I should wear them, I only have one good eye, just too lazy to get them.

Thanks for watching.

Yard sales are amazing. sometimes you can find such great deals. so far this year I found a vintage waffle iron, GE monitor top, and a bunch of rotary dial phones from a free box.

[old64goat]

@AMD1 I love going to yard sales, the problem is most of the time I don't have much cash....LOL

[RAYGproductions]

Good stuff  bill....

[old64goat]

@RAYGproductions Yes Ray it sure is.

[JeffN727]

Nice finds! I think you can still get a bit of use out of that router before it completely dies.

[old64goat]

@JeffN727 Hi Jeff, I may try to see if I can get a replacement top bearing for it, provided it don't cost an arm and a leg.

[fernando140887]

Hi Bill, good tool, in my hardware store have we the brand Ryobi that once we were selling, good tools, all that cost you its?? Apparently have game in the bearing of the side of the coal´s, and also should change the coal´s and you have the tool as new..... As always good video, and luck with your tool, regards friend..... Fernando.

@fernando140887 Hi Fernando, What is the "coal's"?

I will try to change the bearing if I can get one from Ryobi.

Thanks for watching.

Bill

[fernando140887]

@old64goat Hi Bill, in my country we call it coals, to the game of contacts that goes on the collector, because they are of this material, not since they it call there?? Surely find bearings that replace those that it has original, good luck..... Fernando

[old64goat]

@fernando140887 Coal's??, You mean the brushes?

The brushes are made of carbon.

Anyway I made a new video and I fixed the router, it was not a bad bearing, it was the bearing keeper or holder, it had fallen down out of place.

Check out my new video, it shows what I did to fix it.

Bill,looks like you got some great buys.I bought an eight foot step ladder at a yard sale last year for ten dollars.I went to Lowes and found it for eighty dollars,the very same ladder.I don't go to many,I have so much stuff now I'm running out of storage space.Enjoyed this video my friend. Jerry

[old64goat]

@jc6154 Hi Jerry, yes you can find some good deals at yard sales.

I also have no room for any more stuff, but I can't resist electronic stuff and camcorders and tools.

I did get rid of some stuff I had got at yard sales years ago, seems like that stuff just sits in the shed.

[wtf4real123]

good finds. I work in the electrical field and found some nice rubber handed tin snips to cut siding for lights for a buck yesterday too.

[old64goat]

@wtf4real123 That is a good find, you can't beat a good yard sale.

[umajunkcollector]

That trim router looks fine, it simply may have sparked cuz it had oxidation on the commutator. Good stuff!

[old64goat]

@umajunkcollector Well that could be but the bearing is bad.

[umajunkcollector]

1:35 You use that with screws as you would nuts, but they will pop and mount in a hole in metal, sort of like having a nut held in place. So you use those like nuts, but they will stay in the hole in sheet metal. Those should be standard screw sizes such as #8x32 or #10 or perhaps #6. The tool should have different sized threads for the various nut-collars, and the changeable threads are reverse threaded into the tool handle in order to remove and change them.

So think of it as mounting a nut.

[old64goat]

@umajunkcollector That is what I figured it was, but I have no idea if you could buy the "nuts" , I have never seen them before.

[umajunkcollector]

@old64goat

Yah, I use them, and I think I found themat Lowe's or HD where they sell pop rivits.

[jordannewcastle]

Never been to one!

[old64goat]

@jordannewcastle Yard sales are where I got MOST of the tools I have.
