Moderators dtel Posted January 28, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2019 Have on very close to that but I don't think it's a junior, it was my dads. The trigger is not so great so I have a small bungee to keep it pulled when it does make contact, good thing I don't solder much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy snow right now. That makes me fell better about -9 and -30, but not much.

USNRET Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I still have mine as well. Back when my son was around 3ish he saw it and wanted to know what it was. Well, me being me, I told him it was my ray gun. plug it in, pull trigger on wood and the smoke started. Had to keep it pointed down so as not to hit any aircraft flying over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy snow right now. that sounds like winter the way I remember it. Record lows? 1976/1977... I was up there. Turned the heat down to 45` in the factories so there would be enough gas to heat homes. Pneumatic tools don't work for dookie and the paint shop had to lay some paint to sag off, to prove to upper level mgt, it wouldn't work... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
