Issue 266
June 2009

 
 

 

The Zebedee List is a comprehensive list of secondhand balloons and other items for sale for balloonists. It is published monthly and can be obtained either in paper format or here on its web site.

No less than 8 envelopes (3 of them as part of complete balloons) were sold in May ranging from a 31 envelope to a complete 120. An even bigger range of balloons comes the other way IN to the List... These range from a complete 25 to a 250 and include complete low houred no artwork examples of the 25, 90 & 105. The 25 (at Zebedee) was delivered in 1998, made a couple of inflations (unregistered) and has been in storage since. It is now registered G-CFPS, has an EASA C of A to March 2010 and is very pretty...

The first mode S transponder appears in these pages. Transponders generally open up access to airspace for those flying around cities and controlled airspace but let’s hope we never have to have one for out of airspace private flights!

Just at the moment Zebedee has no Worthington cylinders advertised - mainly because we are down to our last couple PPT/PRV’s examples. However more are “in the system” so let us know your requirements. Also remember that there are 6 basic combinations of fittings (on all tanks not just Worthingtons) a) Rego liquid offtake as slave, Cameron master (using Dynaquip / Calor vapour oftakes) or T&C master (using a mini Tema vapour offtake) and b) Tema liquid offtake as slave, Cameron master or T&C master. Cameron & T&C (historically) used different holes in the top of the cylinders for the vapour valve. We see them come in with all sorts of non standard combinations of fittings but when with us are returned to the layout intended by Messrs Cameron, Donnelly & Wirth in the 1970s...

Also a reminder that if you need to lease extra cylinders for Metz then please book them early - we have plenty of 60s, some 45s & 40s available...

Also new this issue is a clean 2.5m Westfalia, another batch of Klein min-fans, a Mk1 Dunkley Dolly Trolley and one copy each of ‘Aerostat’ Aug & Dec 1973 and complete sets of 1974, 1975, 1976 & 1977 (i.e. 26 issues). They are a bargain at £1 each plus postage - first to call / email gets them...

Another Round of Scams!

You have been warned...

An increasing number of our advertisers are again being targeted by the "Classified Ad Scam". One individual from overseas - 'she' apparently lives in several countries (!) - has contacted a number of our advertisers with offers to purchase equipment unseen. The fraud is revealed when it becomes apparent that they will send a cheque for more than the agreed price with the instruction to refund the excess by Western Union.

Our advice is to treat with suspicion any interest from a buyer who doesn't even want to look at the item for sale...

Read here for more details and advice.
