Your arc welder sounds like it was made in Germany, you got the earth clamp in the right place 48v will go up to 200 amp and the 70v will go up to 155 amp. You might notice that the higher voltage doesn't give as many amps, but it will input more heat and give a smoother arc there is a bit of a trade off with voltages, rule of thumb is as voltage goes up amperage goes down. Voltage jumps the gap and initiates the arc and inputs more heat but its the amps that give the penetration without melting everything you don't want melted. I think you got a bargain provided it works, you might find the 70v side works best for a beginner using heavy guage steel, thinner stuff, vertical or overhead you will need to change to the 48v side.
Will you stop collecting stuff or you'll be like them hoarders on the telly who can barely move for clutter 😂 I do envy your location and big garden/shed. I live in an estate and the local busybody is always ready to moan at the first sign of noise, either too early or too late.... she also hasn't worked in years and her kids are grown up so I'm hardly keeping her from her beauty sleep 😂
You have done well there, with your auction buy, the box of old 13 amp sockets will come in useful in the shed I know there are old but MK sockets are good quality even the old ones they might be 50+ years old they are solid and made of bakelite just whats needed in the shed. The yellow multi meter don't bleep I have one. Even old filament bulbs are handy ok for light in the shed, stuff like this is worth keeping you never know when you need it. I think you done ok with what you bought £50 is a good buy
The bridges drill could be used in a contraption that was a lathe, pillar drill, table saw, disc sander and probably more. Later became Stanley Bridge's from the 60s my dad had the system.
As a teanager in the early 60's I bought a second hand Bridges electric drill like the one you have. Acording to the internet Stanley bought out Bridges in 1961.
Regarding your welder, it's a good enough make. but it's old school. Weight of a welder. It's not a sign of quality in this day. You can get an extremely good welder that almost goes in your pocket If it's an inverter welder. this type of welder where you have to wind it up. on a physical screw. probably will cost you twice as much Electricity. to put a rod down than a modern inverter. welder. Will, Firstly, check if the fan works. it will need it as Otherwise, it will keep tripping out. if that works it will be an alright welder. Yesterday my next door neighbour told me he bought a new 3 in 1 welder for £70 that did stick. Mig and tig a gasless mig welder would be very handy for you as they no not need to buy gas , and are very good for light stuff like hollow section welding which stick welding can burn holes quite often the rest of the the lots you should be tickled pink with, the electric box alown was worth your whole cost for the lot well done the thing that had the string tided to is called a top set used for cutting red hot steal on an anvil spliting it through centre or or old school cut off tool, it would have had a wire handle rapped around the center loosely so when it was hit either with a sledge hammer or hand hammer it would not jar the wrists of the holder, it would still be of use to a wrought iron gate maker say to Make a Fleur de li. scroll. The drill don't risk in it. i had one Similar in the 1960s Stanley made them back then. And every so often it used to give me electric shock as they're not double insulated like modern drills are. So the slightest bit of dampness and you will get whacked. But as you say, a beautiful bitter kit to look at.
Banned of the building trade now as they could spring out and cause injury like loss of eye etc.Still have mine but battery drills have taken over were the Yankee was at its best an old faithful.
Good Evening Adam, Look as if you’re had a good day always handy to have few old tools about the place all the best with your buys. Take care of yourself and stay safe.🛠️🛠️⭐️👍
Hi Adam. Nice haul from the auction. The yellow weights are for divers. I bought a Telwyn mig welder many years ago for a firm I worked for and it was good though not the best. The 48 volt allows higher amps and the 70 lower amps. I think one will only work on 3 phase but I can't remember which. Probably the 48. The hand tools alone are well worth the money. That drill looks nearly new
The blue belt is for diving with. Bridges power tools were one of the best back in the 50's and 60's then they got taken over by Stanley's and went down hill until they disappeared. The open circuit voltage (OCV) on the welder is for different types of rod, mostly you will want the 70 volt OCV, this will give easier striking of the arc the 48 OCV will be for larger rods and some specials, the relevant data should be on the packet the rods come in but many sold for DIY do not have this and the sellers often packet up whatever they the cheapest that day and they put rods that need 70 or higher OCV in a pack sold to some one who has a welder that is lucky to produce 24 OCV. Telwin is one of the better makes and used to be Italian made. The 400 and 230 volt switch is the on off for the input and there should be a screw in stop so you cannot accidently switch to the wrong input voltage, nothing much would happen if you plugged into a 230 volt outlet and switched to 400 volts but the other way around could lead to rather spectacular results. It's not 400 volt three phase its 400 volts single phase, uses two lives from the three phase.
When I was knee high to a grass-hopper my Dad had a bridges drill, an earlier model than yours I think, that powered a compressor. He used it to respray his car. It wasn't really up to the job but Dad was fastidious and applied many thin coats of cellulose, rubbing down between every coat, and eventually achieved a first class finish.
you're gonna need new leads for that buzz box, those you have are VERY light duty. the different output voltages are for "dig", how aggressive the arc bites for the current setting. different alloy rods also prefer different voltages. find the spec sticker, and make note of the duty cycles at min and max settings. they're expressed as a percent (20, 30...100). those percentages are of 10 minute intervals. so say the label say 20%@200, that translates to 2 minutes welding, then 8 minutes of rest at a setting of 200 amps. stay within the duty cycle, and the windings last near forever. go much over, you begin to cook the transformer. she's a fair 50 buck welder, even with having to replace the leads
You got another AC transformer "buzz box" with a fan and 2 Open Circuit Voltage settings, nothing wrong with the welds they produce its all down to the skill lever of the welder, its possible to pass a coding test with one , ive seen it done.
I also have a Stanley brigess drill complete with a circular saw, compressor, glass spray gun, sanding pad ,holesaws, and drill set ,I use to have the original box, which I bought at an auction Manny years ago, it's yellow, black.still works perfectly .😂😂😂
The round tube with the flat metal wire is for pulling electrical wires through conduit

Adam, that coiled up springy thing is I believe used for pulling cables through conduit!
I’m thinking the same thing Andy.
Yes me too

Absolute comedy gold, your going to be an internet sensation
The drill was made by S.N. Bridges in the 1950's. They were taken over and became 'Stanley Bridges in 1961.

Well i don't know i reckon you got two box loads of crap to go straight down the dump, but you got some good old tools, well done lad

The blue belt with the yellow weights could be used as ballast for diving.
Those cutters are for flowers, just needs a spr8ng fitting.
The weighted belt is for divers to hold them on the bottom
The weighted “belt” is a necklace for the misses when she goes swimming 😂
@@paulbeasley5026😂😂😮
A good little welder and you have it set good for welding what you need great price hope to see it working
It's a fish wire to help you pull cables through conduit
We used to call them draw tapes, great for cutting through all the other cables in the ducting, BANG

Loving the STORED phase on items to keep the welder good for beginners good old spanners aswell
Your little " chuck thing " looks like a plug cutter for woodworking.

Bin that socket adapter, dangerous things. Stick to trailing sockets.
Those Number plates, JVX was originally a Colchester/Clacton Essex registration

@6:26 Gate Hangers welded together
Yes definitely. Interesting modification.... reason unknown
@@fredmargerum1486 The only thing I can think of is that it might be for a central post with a gate hanging either side of it. Maybe one of a pair?
The orange knife with SIBILLE on it is a 1000 volt insulated cable stripping knife and not cheap very good quality
You've got some good things there Adam and how much do you want for the box of bulbs please
You got another AC transformer "buzz box" with a fan and 2 Open Circuit Voltage settings, nothing wrong with the welds they produce its all down to the skill lever of the welder, its possible to pass a coding test with one , ive seen it done.
NOT mini stillson - that is known as a JACKDAW spanner.
I also have a Stanley brigess drill complete with a circular saw, compressor, glass spray gun, sanding pad ,holesaws, and drill set ,I use to have the original box, which I bought at an auction Manny years ago, it's yellow, black.still works perfectly .😂😂😂
Not all multimeters make a beep on continuity.
its a pull throw ..... and a diving weight belt ......
Lovely tools electric stuff bud like blue Stanley screwdriver
Think that Welder is Italian? fairly decent bit of kit had a mask made by them it was decent enough plug it in and find out
The welder settings surely depend on the amperage that you want/need to use.
That’s a damn good haul!
Love your metel storage cubyholes could do with some of them me self.
Those trimmers maybe for trimming nose hairs. LOL
Lead weights for scuba diving,,,,,
Bloody diver weights worth 100 quid you lucky sod
All of those sockets are for hotter arc settings
Blue and yellow thing is a divers weight belt
Volts corasponds with the amps.there is a table on top of machine
The blue belt with weights on is a scuba divers weight belt.
I t hink that wire is a fish tape for pulling wire and stuff
fish wire in the tube, other divers weight belt, reminds me of my watton days
They still have Woolworths in Australia.
Adam will be showing off his down under then. 😂
The yellow weights on the belt
The blue strap with weights on is for when you go diving
From andy in devon
Scuba diving Wright belt
Get some scrap metal and do some test welds and see how it welds.
The three weights on a belt is for scuba divers.
the belt is for divers AQUA DIVING UNDER WATER .
You've done well, you've had a bargain.
Nearest Woolworths nowadays is in Australia 😂😂😂
Tell me what woolworths Adams saying that think il be OK sight like that could destroy a man lol good vid bud
Diver weight belt ?
welder just over 200 new hope it works for you
You have got junk you will find a use for
Somebody's junk but a great fids in every box yu gt your money's worth.
Hello Adam orsome
lots ah hah's
What like for that bud
