Vintage chargers

[DomRC]

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

[DomRC]

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]

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.;)

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?

[jamesburling720]

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

I love that charger :thumbsup:

[dodgydiy]

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.

[jamesburling720]

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...
