Bandero build - Part 4 - (Final)

I used an old crutch as a handle. Now these are easy to find; just wait near a disabled parking bay and you will have one in no time - and the donor can't run after you....No really, I had one from when aa horse stod on my wife's foot - yes this really happened. Fortunately the horse was not harmed. So, in one cut-down end I grafted a length of acryllic towel rail from a bathroom re-fit, and made the pivot bit from some old perspex. I cut the top part down too and fitted a mounting bracket for the control box. You can also see the pic of the finished thing.

There is a tiny tiny problem.......oh God but it's heavy.
Despite my care in using light materials, oh dear. I ma thinking about a different kind of pole - or, shudder - buying on and blowing the budget to bits - although I haven't seen any for sale. Maybe after I find some Saxon Gold...

I could only get the schematic from Protel via Word for now, no PDf writer. It is much the same as any other version but I have doubled the front end gain.

It cost less then $15.00 with parts I already had or took off other things. The most expemsive items were the aryllic posts I usedin the head. I sure would do it again but I think the addition of a micro is next - software should really ace it. Hoe does it work ? Well on the bench all features seem to work as per the Tesoro manual. Disc mode is very good. In free air woth a couple of coins I get about a foot. i will write more when it has been in the field.
