Quite literally!!! I called around yesterday to a couple of photocopier repair shops, asking if I could root thru their "Junk bin" in search of any small gears that they might be throwing away. One of the repair shops said that they no longer repaired the old non digital copiers, but that I could come over and have their entire stock of "New" spare parts of the shelves, as they no longer had any use for them. In addition to what you see in the picture, they also gave me two enormous old photocopiers, complete, that are full of gears, sprockets, and miniature drive chains. Unfortunatey, most of the gears are nylon, but Hey---I can work with that!!! However right now, I am tired of playing with model steam engines, tired of reading books, tired of playing on the internet----In short, I need some real work. I sure hope things pick up soon and I get a design contract before I go absolutely gaga.---Brian
