this Japanese made old Binolux porro compact, i'm guessing 1960s, came to me in not great condition. It was dirty inside, one eye cup missing, the plastic covers on the hinge front that fit under the tripod adapter cover missing, paint shabby, and out of alignment. I found some fairly shallow rubber eye cups that fit perfect, cleaned it inside, aligned it, made some replacement plastic covers from a piece of black plastic, gave the objective caps a spray, and then gave the caps and front prism plates a coat of clear laquer. The only thing missing is the swivell neck strap attachments that would have gone each side, I think probably similar to the ones on early swift models.
I'm quite pleased, they have come up a treat. It is fully coated, no marks to the glass, and gives a decent bright clear image. The quoted 525ft@1000yds FOV is bit ambitious, nowhere near by my eye, but maybe the eye cups make a difference, the one original that I have is a very shallow hard cup, not much more than about 2mm. Not worth anything much, not exceptional, but a neat little thing and satisfying to get it back to a good condition.
Interesting thing I forgot to mention, inside the body, it has JB4 which is made by TOEI KOGAKU Ltd at Hatogaya-shi works, but on the inside of the ocular arm it has JB 138 = made by TOYO JITSUGO Co Ltd so seems a bitsa, unusual or possibly common back then ?
A mystery vehicle with no information displayed on it. The above description is from DVLA records, which say it has a 5.7-litre engine, so I suspect it is a London taxi chassis with a pre-war saloon body and a small-block Chevy V8. The radiator grille is reminiscent of a World War 2 German military lorry.
This beautiful motorcycle visited my local pub the "William IV" Bletchingley tonight.Very,very nice.Not bad for a bike that's over 70 years old.....The mate who owns this bike has just built another..https://youtu.be/NBm5nURTxzM

With first Scot Rail stickers applied a Class 170 Turbo Star approaches Inverkeithing. The tower crane to the left was involved in the extension of the Ferry Toll park and ride facility
1981/82, where the hell have the years gone,my previous motorcycles were, CZ175 and a Suzuki TS125C, so the CB500T was for me my first big Motorcycle,although 500c are seen as medium.
It was not fast ,even by the standard of the time, Kasawaki GPz ,Yam RDs ruled the roost,but I loved it.
My best memory of the CB500T is being allowed to take my Father as a pillion, his car(Marina 1800)would not start, he had left it late to catch a bus to Rolls Royce. so I was the only opportunity,Dad had owned a 1946 Triumph 3T and a B S A bitsa,which died when one of my 2 older brothers put sand in the petrol tank!!.
I have to give it to my Dad, bravery, to ride on the back with me,but such a funny event happened, which had nothing to with my skills, when breaking at the "B A C" roundabout , to give way to a cyclist, the handle bars fell off of the cycle, with the cyclist falling to the ground,I am sure my Dad let out a laugh, I remember saying "what the F---", then cursing in my thoughts that I had sworn with Dad on the back,The Cyclist picked himself up and on I went to Gypsy Patch Lane and Dad dismounted,still in one piece, hoping that he had enjoyed the experience.
The Viva was the first car my Mother owned, the road is Clare Road,Cotham,Bristol,BS6 5TB.
My new-ish 82 CB250RS DGC929X and an 81 CB250RS VGH834W I bought as a box of bits. Oddly the bitsa one ran much better. Kingston 1983

Class 170 Turbo Star 170453 approaches Forthar Bridge on the decent to Ladybank with an Edinburgh to Aberdeen service. My old faithfull Nissan Primera can be seen to the left, sadly rust got the better of it a year later.
Typical of all the racing Douglas's that have been discovered in NSW over the last 10 years....a OHV Douglas bitsa! All of these bikes have been a real mix up of OHV DT / RA / OB / OC/ SW parts, the Newcastle Speedway promotor kept them on the track by using any bits he could. This bike had the remains of a DT motor (EL prefix) in it when found
Would that be a Harley cut down rear guard!
