I have had this ground monitor for a couple of years and was going to turn it into a lamp, or something. I didn't really have the heart to start chopping it apart to put it in the back of one of my sheds. Everything still moves freely so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Ideal for display item on ex Fire Engine or possibly put back to work. I will gladly tell the buyer where it came from, may still have photos of it in situ. Collection from near Dunham Bridge, Nottinghamshire. Happy to travel and meet up half way.
