This motorhome has been sitting for ten years. We last started this beast a little over four years ago. We were selling it, so we had to make sure it would start. Just prior to filming this, we threw some fuel into the tank, charged the batteries, and sprayed some starting fluid into the carb. You can depend on your Chrysler.
This is a 1950s, possibly 1960's Dayton twin-blade (propeller blade) fan. The blade is made from Bakelite, and aside from being slightly off-balance, runs very well. The fan is constructed of chromed steel.
Dude, it's a Dell! I hate Dells due to poor quality and support, but once upon a time Dell sold decent hardware. Here is a real dinosaur from 1999, when their notebooks were worth buying. Watch the video for specs and info.
This is a 1934 International I inherited from my grandfather, who bought it from an engine show in 1986. This engine was originally used to run a salt spreader for the Massachusetts highway department. New rings, new fuel tank and line, and rebuilt magneto. Still runs like a charm after all these years...
This may very well be the last one left... it's a 1999 Epson Stylus Color 740 inkjet printer. Due to my brilliant scheme of keeping these alive, it still prints like it did in 1999. Supports parallel, USB, and (drumroll)... Apple Serial!!! The key is to use cheap bulk ink from those drugstore refill kits; the ink is slightly thin when compared to the OEM ink that Epson charges $40 an ounce for.
This is a 1988 Homelite (by Jacobsen). Aluminum deck with back saver handle, and a 3.5 HP Briggs Quantum engine. Runs smoother than most mowers built today, as most small engines are designed to run lean for EPA regs.
I needed to come up with a suitable birthday card for the man who taught me MS-DOS over 14 years ago. What better way to say "Happy Birthday" than to give him a card generated on a vintage computer system?
