Title: Arcadia - Christmas wish list
Post by: Tikvah on December 14, 2014, 04:11:53 PM
I saw that Vanner Equalizer advertised on this site and a little drool dribbled down my chin.  I don't need it, but I sure would like to have one... I just wish I could think of a reason why.
Is this the virus that's caused by owning a bus?  I've tried to avoid this kind of thinking.

Anyway, it got me thinking.  I know there's a bit of a swap meet at the Arcadia Rally, and I know I'll be doing my share of drooling over things I don't need.  But, there's a couple things I might be wishing for that someone at the rally might have stuffed out in that back shed.  So, if I post it here, you might toss it in the bay and bring it along.

1.  I'd like to replace a bay door or two.  One of mine has a small dent, and a couple are rusted badly on the inside.   So a nice couple doors are on my wish list.  A guy in Chattanooga offered to give me a full set of good doors, but I lost track of him and don't remember his name.  So, I'm back on the hunt.

2.  Someday I'd like to replace my double doors (modified) with a single door.   I have no idea how I would do it, but I managed to make a single from my doubles... so I bet I can do this too.  Those things are terribly heavy, so this one might be a stretch.  (I'm talking about then entrance door)

3.  I just broke my right mirror.  Just sitting here in the cold and it snapped.  No big deal, it's all there, just cracked.  But it was getting bad before.  I LOVE those nice chrome fancy things, but last year somebody had a set but was far too expensive for this poor boy.  But, a replacement for my broken one would be just right.   Now, if the chrome ones just happened to be under my Christmas tree, I'd be okay with that too.

I have a extra air throttle I was going to sell at the rally.  I bought two when I did mine.  I couldn't decide if I wanted the top mount pedal, or the other kind.  It really didn't matter, either would have worked.  But I picked one and now have another.  I'll have to look up the price, but it isn't too bad.

Okay, that's my list as of this writing.  I soon as I click 'post' I'll think of something else.  Anyone want to add their Christmas wish list here?   Maybe I've got something you need?

Dave- Which throttle treadle are you selling?  I set mine up with a floor mounted one. It works well, but I think I would prefer a top hinged pedal.  PM me what you have and a price.  I may buy it from you.

#3, the broken mirror-- If you know the manufacturer of your mirror, you can usually get replacement glass for it.  I replaced all four pieces of glass in my Ramco mirrors for under $150!  That is less than half the price of one new complete mirror!

Spark plug, I just listed it on the "Spare Tire" section.

I'm at the rally now.

Well yesterday, I found a great deal on fresh water tank, a brand new Sealand China toilet, a solid oak medicine cabinet that matches the truck cabinets perfectly along with 8 solid oak cabinet doors, some with leaded glass that match also. All for a $100
I sold my old mirrors for $75, a new complete set of steel lug nut covers for $25 and an old cb base station for $10.
Trying to find other stuff to get rid of!
Gotta love them swap meets!
