Time to have a clear out and concentrate on my RS2.

I couldn't find any either so thought I'd play about with the spelling, it seems to be call Cai-lube and only be available from the state's from eBay.

The closest product I could find listed in the UK is called 'Servisol Super 10', I dare say it's very much the same sort of stuff but I'm going to do a bit more poking about on the internet before I buy any.

Still a pretty awful photo but just managed to take this one of my sitting room set up by leaning against my coffee table. Excuse the temporary stand, best I could come up with quickly the other day while playing about with how I was going to connect it up to the input of my mixer and to the output without breaking something. Fortunately my technics mixers has a monitor output which makes this really simple. It lives under my decks so all play back from the amp goes to my mixer then my Yamaha monitors, sounds pretty bloody good. I like those old SU-V40 amps, I have another one on the way for the way for my conservatory set up.

I don't understand why my phone is taking such awful photo's at the moment, tried cleaning the lenses, I'm still not happy with the results going to have another go.

Right, that really seems to be about the best my phone is capable of, have come to the conclusion that the camera is rubbish.

CaiLube MCL is now called DeoxIT FaderLube. Plenty on eBay.

Thanks for the tip.

No problem.

Hell it's not cheap! Still I guess you get what you pay for, went for this offer as it seems to kill two birds with one stone and I expect these tins to last a very long time.

You can save a couple of quid by shopping around, but this just seemed convenient and they both have the more modern type of button/straw arrangement.

Right, let's get this thread back on track for the time being, I don't mind further deviation into retro stereo equipment at all. However the title was more to do with getting my workshop, parts mountain and cars sorted out.

Have given my RS2 a preliminary polish, it's going to need a fair bit of detailing but have certainly made serious inroads into getting it clean again after over a year outside. The rear reflector is absent as it cracked whilst I was polishing it, this is being sorted thanks to help from another member who can get stuff from Audi Tradition.

The interior is next on the list, though all that needs apart from the headlining recovering is a good Hoovering and some trim and leather treatment. Yes, I know my car cover is too small but it's one I had knocking around from my Corrado and figure it's better than nothing.

Still got a few boxes of trim and fiddly little parts to sort out but I'm nearly there downstairs. The attic is next on the list, there's all sorts up there, some of which I'm going to bin as no body seems to want free C4 interior parts.

Have also made a start on breaking my C4 30V, I think the entire front suspension and subframe assembly is going to end up on my Avant along with it's rear suspension as it's all in much better shape.

Looking very nice indeed Kit

[K Simmonds]

Cheers Monkey, still haven't forgotten about the Corrado, I've just been flat out with sorting out my workshop and organising sending parts. Here's some more photos of some nicely arranged tools, I like to know where everything is and these are just the ones I use the most, got plenty more draws full of hammers and bodywork tools etc.

BTW, the stickers on my tool box were not applied by me and are not to my taste. It's the same tool chest I used when I worked in a busy local garage and we'd take great delight in sticking stupid things to each others kit, I've left them on for sentimental reasons. The ones on the side are much, much worse, I would take a photo of them but I'd probably get banned, they are not at all PC.

I assumed you were into skateboards in the 90s mate, ?

[K Simmonds]

You don't want to know what I was into in the 90's, wasn't skate boards put it that way....

The 90's ?......I'm just glad I never caught anything

Have you been tested? Are you sure?

Yes and no !

Here's another one for John and the rest of the old school stereo equipment fans. I put this set up together for my room for a little over £100, the most expensive part being the speakers.

Excuse the photo's my hands are really shaky in the mornings, dam anxiety.

Looking good. Got mine out and decided it might be time to sell her to someone who will use it.
