Get the thing - you can always find a use for it later...

>Get it! Gracious sakes alive man, if nothing else it can be used for trading stock later on.

I got robbed today myself. I was headed off to school and I saw a nice hose reel in the trash. Had to go a few blocks down to turn around, and as I was coming back to it I saw another guy picking it up and tossing it into his truck. :~(

Ahhhhhhhhhhh well, Momma said there'd be days like this.

>What does your local landfill charge, if anything, for appliances? Ours charges $10, more if they have freon (yeah, I know: what's the disposal cost of an appliance, when they'll take an equal weight of metal in the non-appliance form free?), and I'd hesitate to take on an appliance unless I knew I had a use for it. But that may not be your situation, Ernie.

>I`ve been doing some research on your blaster post and while paging thru old issues of Home Shop Machinist I came across a tip that suggested using a dishwasher cabinet as a blast cabinet.They even recomended using the door switch as a safety interlock to the gun by wiring it into a solenoid valve.Three holes in the door,for a window and a pair of gloves and you could be in business chum!These things do come with thier own parts racks ya know.Let me know if you want more info.

>I can't imagine passing up a free toy. I wonder if you could set it up to use & recycle a non-flammable water based degreaser? Might not want to use the heat cycle with that stuff. I'd just set it up far enough away from the house to test it without messing up anything but a patch of weeds if it goes ka-blooey. But then again, I live far enough away from the neighbors to get away with strange experiments. After the first few times they start to ignore loud noises, bright flashes and funny colored plumes of smoke.

>I found a combination clothing washer/dryer, and it works just fine for cleaning old tools. I just throw a cup full of naval jelly in with each load.
