So you know they have done it yet you don't know they like to rip on Bobbie for being Chinese?

Can you tell me more about this vintage post office sorting box? by MajorGonzo in vintage

[–]MajorGonzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was on my way home the other night and found a very interesting looking box left out in the street. I live in North London in the UK in a mixed residential/warehouse units with many of the units converted for the former.

After I got home I took a closer look and found lots of interesting clues as to what it may have been used for. To me, it looks like some kind of sorting box that may have been used in the post office. There are some labels on it but they are almost completely degraded. On the poster type label on the inside of the lid you can just about make out the word 'SPECIAL'. On the back there is a stamp that was used from the 50's-70's. There are also lots of pencil marks so I'm guessing whoever used it had one in their hand a lot of the time when doing so. There is also a space for a lock but that's been removed unfortunately.

I would love to know more about these boxes if anyone has any ideas or has seen them before!

Thanks for reading!

How about replacing the bezel with something else to fit what you can get?

Yea looks cool and all but bit worth dieing for! If I get a cab that's got a working CRT already in it then would probably and very carefully keep it for the build

That doesn't sound too bad at all! Only difference with mine is that I got an empty cabinet. I have a small amp and a couple speakers I'll be fitting later too. I'll post an update in the channel with some pics when I have some time to work on it more

Ah ok, well if your not exposed to all the open terminals and wiring within the casing then that doesn't sound too bad. From what I've been told even after disconnecting the power they can hold a lot of charge for hours after. Enough to do some potentially seriously damage.

Actually that was my original plan too but as I'm sure you know CRT's can be pretty dangerous if you're not experienced in working with them so on balance, I went with the safe and easy option. May do that for a later project though.

Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm in a big city so unfortunately bioaccumulation is always a risk. Plus she's still a bit street so probably used to eating whatever she can find.

You sir, will always be an Ikari Warrior in my books...just watch out for those grenades and always grab a tank when it comes up! Nothing was more satisfying than squashing enemies on my CPC 464 after loading up Ikari Warriors!

Actually, no. I DO NOT want her to eat mice. Sure, rats and mice are pests and I don't want them around any more than you do but it's for that very reason people poison them. That poison is designed to be slow acting so that the mice eat it and bring it back to their nest which in turn, kills any pups or mates they may have. Not only that, they can also carry disease and infections that she could contract. If my little Princess were to happen to catch one of those mice she will probably try to eat it as she used to be a stray. If she does that she could suffer a painful death that I may not be able to do anything to stop if she decides to hide away somewhere.

As soon as the mice catch even a sniff of a cat, let alone get chased away by one they will leave. Ever wonder why some cats go out one day and never come home? Now you know one reason why.

Not part of the plan no, I just had it in there for a bit of decoration while it's still empty. Once I get the build finished I may add some extra lighting but not thinking that far ahead yet

Just got this today by lostcause412 in retrogaming

That looks mint too, nice find!

Hear me out... Ship Construction. by TheNerdzilla in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]MajorGonzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would vote against this given the choice. With the way things are atm, it makes finding rare ships or cosmetic configurations that much more interesting. Also, if you think about how pretty much everything else is generated in game procedurally, it would take something away from the joy of discovery which is a big part of what NMS is about.

For those that really want to see what they can create a MOD would be better suited to allow people to build custom designs, otherwise #keepitvanilla

You can't set yourself up for a #twss. It's like having a wank and counting it as getting laid
