Hey all you electric old timers out there.  I'm looking for an old Astro 110 or Astro 112 NiCad charger.  I'm willing to offer it a loving new home   ;D

Anyone got one?

London Swap Meet is approaching fast.  Three weeks time.
I found my Astro 112D a few years ago for a couple dollars.
No one wants them anymore.
It is great as a power source for foam cutting.

I have a 112 PK Rob. Is that what you are looking for?

I've got a 110D. You're welcomed to it. Foam cutting?

Thanks guys!  I'll take Ben up on his offer since he's close, and hopefully going to TEMAC tomorrow (Monday)   ;D

Yes, for foam cutting.

I think you have to take him to lunch first Simon.
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

Hey Rob, I should mention.
 
Astro made two different versions of the 110D and 112D  Digital first and later the Deluxe.

The version you want is the earlier 110 Digital as you can put it in test mode for foam cutting.  I don't think you can put the Deluxe version into test mode.  At least I can't figure out how to do it.  Nothing in the instructions.
To tell them apart the older Digital has the red push button start and rotary knob to select amps.
The later Deluxe version only has the rotary knob.

I have heard some of the newer chargers being released, now have a foam cutting mode included in the menus.

My icharger has the foam cutting option:

But I still use my light dimmer/24 volt transformer to cut foam.
