rip cl
i hope suckerburg burns for an extra eternity for funneling all the private party sales onto his griftsite
i refuse to participate in the facefuck bullshit and it has cost me my favorite past time of buying crap at deals from strangers
>>
>>2946000
Even if you sign in to faceberg its still so fucking broken as demonstrated in picrel
>>
>>2946000
Just start going to auctions. What you do with 7 broken air compressors or forklifts is a problem for future you
>>

100% agreed. I guess the only saving grace is that CL won't outright disappear since it appears to be a nonprofit so as far as I can tell less traffic makes it easier to maintain. Maybe in a few years people will get sick of zero-effort screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-text-of-a-picture posts with no/wrong information and will start using CL again. One can dream.

What kills me more than anything is facebook marketplace's search is absolute dogshit. You can't narrow down the results like you should be able to. It's a shit show.
>>
>>2946058
Yeah and 80% of the shit in the free section is just someone who posted some piece of shit beater for $0 then says DM me for price

Can't tell if you're saying MGs used to be good, or bad, or popular, but either way you are correct.

I see some useable parts but dunno if it would make a decent compressor or not. If it is really free even if you ended up salvaging some components and scrapping the rest you should be able to come out ahead.

That being said I don't know if I would go out of my way to get it or anything...

Toaster ovens work nicely for drying stick welding rods. That's a nice score for someone.

Curbside find

Got it home plugged it up flipped the switch and the chuck makes like two rotations then stops and if you leave it on it starts humming louder and louder. Is this fixable?

I was just gonna spray it down with oil and see if it unseizes but I didn't know if it would cause some kind of slippage somewhere or something
>>
>>2949714
Might be a run capacitor. Tear it apart, clean it up and make sure the spindle turns freely, make sure the motor turns freely. If it still does it see if it has a start/run cap and change it out.

>>2946000
Kinda crazy how many gaping asshole picture postings I see on Facebook.

The welding rod ovens are a rip off. I soaked both 6010s and 7018s in a bottle of water over a weekend. Welded fine. Ground open welds and not a hint of porosity. I was in welding school at the time and I showed my instructor. His response was “I have no explanation for that”.

I think it’s a wives tale that the people who make the rod ovens are too happy to continue.

Local guy is giving away 9 pairs of bowling alley chairs. Free, gotta take all of them. I kinda want them just for the bases. They'd make some sweet feet for workbenches, or something like that I'd imagine...

Good job anon. 90% of fixing shit is just degunking and cleaning stuff up so it can work properly again.
