When I was a kid the father of a mate used a TV cabinet as an incubator for his chook's eggs. One TV cabinet, some Perspex and a 75 watt light globe did the trick.

Must of been Jed Clampett , hahah , To be truthful I miss the days when people use to never throw things away unless it was completely worthless.. , I'm a bit addict to those street clean ups and you would be amazed of what people waste by throwing it away , Last week I picked up 5 boxes of Engineering tools !! I said to the guy as he was throwing them on the throw out "" whats the story with the tools ? "" he said his dad and grandfather were Engineers , but he had no interest in tools !! well now their all hanging in my work shop and they can stay there until its time to throw me away as well , ,,,,,,,,,,, Peter

Nice find, that. Old tools in good condition can fetch good money on eBay if grandson was a bit wiser.

Ohhh This Cabinet would not be worth importing as its not in good enough condition , it needs a lot of work , plus there is no guts , If in the end no body wants it , I could take the moulding off it and just post them too MT ,
