Default 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...

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

Pretty fancy kit in its day!

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.
