Had a Scan Guage delivered yesterday.
Got the package opened and hooked straight into reading the manual.
By about page 15 I was totally :confused: but wasnt about to let it beat me. It wasnt until I got to the X-Guage section, it dawned on me why we have kids.

Tommorow Im ringing one of my sons to get him to try and simplify it all by showing me how to set it up, oh!, thats after I talk him into fitting it one day during the week for me.
Then, more than likely I will annoy him for weeks to come, having him go over the same thing again and again, and yes maybe another again.

I grew up in an era where Fibro was regarded as the magical building product. Cobbers were two a penny, Stanley was the Golden Service guy, phones had cords and you could blow up letter boxes on bunger night.
Ahhh, technology. :icon_bonk:
Current score: Scan Guage manual = 1. Me = 0

How true !!!. Now a Monte Carlo is bigger. And yes, "long live bakelite" :wink:
A "I remember when thread" may be interesting.
