The General Purpose Wish List

The GPWL has returned! Looks like I need to update some of this, the links are broken/missing.

  • Amazon Wishlist Here
  • Lee Valley Wishlist Here <- I need to update this, much of it is no longer relevant!
  • Jack the Bulldog – ideally the Skyfall edition, but really any would be fine (unless during the post-Craig era, Royal Doulton releases something gawdy)
  • White Rage Against the Machine TShirt with the Molotov cocktail on the back (colour inverted version of this)
  • One of my near future projects is to convert from bi-folds to doors on the kid’s closets, I will need and likely buy this (a hinge mortise jig) at some point soon.
  • I loved how well this (rtx?) stuff works for cleaning rims. Now that the London car show is ‘done’, my opportunities to pick up more each March have diminished.
  • I love mechanical wooden ‘puzzles’ like this
  • Onyx Note Air4 C or Go 7 Colour type tablet, something a bit bigger than a small novel. Primarily for reading. Note taking is nice but not required
  • A gallon of McDonald’s Degreaser. That stuff is amazing (or was, they have probably made it more environmentally friendly or something)
  • Likewise, a tube of McDonalds big mac sauce. (Remember when you could buy it at the grocery store?)
  • 1969 Impala Custom Coupe Stuff:
    • NOS mats for a 1969 Impala – I am thinking loop style, and either #19 Fawn Sadalwood or #4 Ivy Gold to match the existing carpet; #20 Gold was too bright. Check with Ron Cook
    • While I’m ordering from NOS, 1968-1970 Chevrolet Impala 2DR Coupe Trunk Mat TM Vinyl
    • Diecast 1969 Impala Custom Coupe – Custom Coupes have a vertical ‘b’ pillar, not sloped. /sidenote: ugh, my fav resource site https://www.1969chevy.com/ is down. 1969’s in general are also difficult to come by – most moulds were broken to create the 1970 model year so production was limited.
    • Steering Wheel – beige/gold interior. Will post a pic for colour when I can.
    • Innova 5568 Timing Light
  • Cleveland Indians related signs\banners\swag
  • I am a license plate collector:
    • Cleveland Indians plate
    • ‘Bort’ Simpsons novelty plate
    • missing items from my ‘want list
    • Anything, really.
  • HPI ESavage
    • Spare parts, batteries, etc. Apparently, these things are rare and I drove mine. hard. Parts are harder to come by these days. I heard that the Hot Bodies EZilla is the same truck, a different shell – may be an opportunity there to find replacement parts.
    • While I am at it, I discovered during my search for ESavage parts that the MTroniks dual-motor ESC is a much better option than the HPI version that came in the RTR box. Having already replaced my ESC once, I would like to investigate this further next time.
  • Milwaukee Fanboy!
    • I’d love a good solid knife
    • M18 large mAh batteries
    • Shockwave #2 Robbie bits
  • Oscillating Tool Blades. These things are one of those items that when you need it, you’re thankful. But the blades tend to be spendy (This is a good deal!)
  • RapidAir 90500 kit – with a few extra ‘outlet’ add-ons (I am thinking 1 at the front of the garage, one at the rear and then one in my workshop)
  • Mid-Century Modern Walnut TV bench like this one. I like this one especially since its top (at least online) appears to match other items we already have in our collection, and the opening appears big enough to fully enclose a Sonos playbase.
  • Mr Heater 50,000btu NG
  • Suburban repair items:
    • Tailgate with tinted glass
    • Rear\tail repair quarters
  • N Scale buildings, paraphernalia. I have Rapido couplers. I favour SD40 style engines.
  • Beef Tallow – costco apparently sells this in store now
  • Outdoor speakers (black) – I love the Bose 251 Environmental but they seem hard to find these days. They are also a bit spendy. I’m considering the Pol Audio Atrium 4 instead. I am planning to run two sets of speakers off each my Sonos amps (front and rear) to provide a more fuller sound at low volume on my decks, so ideally I’d get 1 Bose 251 and 2 Atrium 4’s, but would be happy with 3 Atrium 4’s if the 251s truly aren’t available.
  • Bowers and Wilkins Px7 S3. I love my Samsung Buds but the battery life is going…
  • Google Chrome history to work more consistently, especially across multiple devices.
  • I am a ham radio enthusiast
    • any gear would be nice. Primarily run UHV and VHF but am interested in FT9 (So a QRPLabs QDXv3! would be awesome!) I wouldn’t mind trying my hand at something like 20m but I don’t really want to bust the bank or get too addicted. 🙂
    • I’m getting into APRS – I would love a dedicated APRS rig like this
    • Icom 7300 External Speaker
    • AirNav ADS-B antenna
    • Good quality coax, like RG213 or LMR400. I’d need 100′ for anything I’m working on
  • Astrophotography equipment. I would love to make an all-sky camera that can stay outside 24×7, 365 days of the year and do timelapse. I will list parts eventually but anything towards that project would be appreciated.
