Sorry to be so dull.... but, I was only thinking
that it was a strange page number!

Matt's right... the male is black and has a yellow beak from early on.
I had one last year that used to come onto a bush about 4 ft from me and he used to open his mouth as though he expected me to feed him

I've had male and females actually come onto the door threshold looking for raisins or mixed fruit. One had a damaged beak and was really tame I almost trod on him once. It's really funny watching them sunbathing or having a bath.

The female in my portfolio is one of two that are usually in my garden but AWOL for the past week.

This is Page 555

If you want say 6v using 4 cells instead of 5 is a MASSIVE real world advantage

"After a "Deep Discharge", they can be brought to their original high-capacity charge only after a few charge-discharge cycles."

This sounds wrong to me? It was the reason they originally
failed.... they couldn't be brought back.

I think that's a female

I assume that they are Ray-O-Vacs?

Good idea being 1.5v but of very limited use.

If you completely exhaust them you might if your lucky get
one more charge

If you have anything that uses say 10-20% of the power
between charges they will charge up a few hundred times.

They were the same price as Ni-Cads in the UK and they
needed their own charger although I managed with a Tandy
pulse charger.

They were sold off cheap in the end.

I wouldn't touch normal Ray-O-Vac alkalines with a
barge pole they have damaged quite a lot of my equipment
with leakage

EDIT: Just noticed the link. Branded Pure. Ray-O-Vacs
were the original inventors so I don't know if these
are the same?

The last three are superb

It didn't sell John, not even any bids 2nd time listed
as well according to completed search, no bids that time either, but with a higher start price.

Finished listing link

Only 64 views probably because it wasn't listed as 80-400mm although Tokina have only marked 80-400 on the lens. It would be better to include both in the listing in this case.

If it hasn't marked the lens I would remove the bracket and just mention that a suitable 3rd party bracket will be be included free, otherwise it sounds a bit DIY.

Start the auction lower and include a reserve and BIN

It's known as progress

One of my favourite TV progs is American Pickers on the History channel. It's amusing seeing them climbing over all sort of rusty old junk saying this is really old it's from the 70's, I always laugh because I know people still using camera's from that period..... says me with 3 x MX, 1 x KM, 1 x MF, 2 x Super-A
