Vintage chargers
 

Hi all,

Just found a very old nico charger with the clockwork dial on the front... Is this likely to be worth anything to anyone or one for the bin?!

Cheers

I'll take that as a no then:)

Sorry, but you can't polish a turd

i had one of these back in the day i used it to charge my 1400mah nicads lol!!

Yes you can

That the pro slope,
not mine unfortunately
:thumbsup:

Oh thats the posh one , mine didnt have the digital display .
It cost me around 63 pounds back in 1991.

I just cannibalised my last clockwork charger for the crocodile clips and the cool big ammeters.

They really don't have much usefulness at all. Except perhaps for a boat anchor or something if you have an AC/DC one with a one-ton transformer...

Ive still got my tekomo pro slope plus! Was still using it 2 seasons ago. Still just as good as any other charger!:thumbsup:

To be fair, that's hardly a cheap old clockwork charger...:thumbsup:

Pretty fancy kit in its day!

It sure was. Still working like new now! £95 I remember paying for it.

i still have a pro slope from years back i found it the other day when i was sorting all my old stuff out lol but its useless to me so i may well bin it lol

Dont be nuts ! thats a good chrager , pop it on the bay you may be surprised.

Old chargers? In my loft I have a Schumacher C20, a KO 212 with Triplex module and an M-Troniks Apc350 (mains + 12v)

None of them probably worth a toss nowadays. That's progress.;)

im not even sure it still works lol il have to try it

I have two of them up in the loft, first and second revision of the model with the digital display. The second revision had a completely flat front panel, no step on to the top for the display. Havent looked at them sine the nicad days but i'm sure they had adjustable peak detect?

I got a Pro Slope too...will it work with NiMHs, anyone? I heard conflicting things...

I love that charger :thumbsup:

still use a pro slope, it may be old but if you have a problem pack the adjustable peak cut off point sure is useful!! seems to work just fine with nimh, albeit gp 3300's which are basically bulletproof anyway.

Interesting, thanks mate...might be that I just have to try it and see what happens. Probably on a dodgy old pack first, to be safe...
