My name is moonbase and I am a satellite equipment hoarder !
Does that sound familiar, sheds and loft overflowing with satellite equipment that you have never used in years?
Can't bear to throw it out in the unlikely event it will get used at some point in the distant future or that some toby might come along and buy it off you even though it is obsolete.
Well, this topic is here to give you support by providing a platform for you to proudly list your satellite equipment disposal achievements.
My new plan is that for every new item that arrives, two items have to go in advance of the new arrival.
Today I started by throwing out two siezed up Superjack QARL3624 actuators.
Originally, my thoughts were "I will dismantle them and free up the drive mechanism and I have two decent actuators", four years later they were in a shed, untouched.
They are currently residing on my front drive awaiting one of the local scavengers to steal them.
I have found this to be a good method to get rid of metal objects, some dont even see the day out, it took a week for a washing machine to be scavenged though.
Picture of today's disposals below.
