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 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!

dbizzle5 17-03-2009 10:45 PM

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

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.;)
