Unboxing my Meccano Auction Haul: Rare treasures revealed!

Join me as I unbox my exciting Meccano auction haul and reveal some rare treasures that I scored! From vintage sets to hard-to-find pieces, this haul has it all.
As a Meccano enthusiast, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to bid on these items at the auction. Watch as I unbox and share my thoughts on each piece, and maybe even add some items to your own collection. Don't miss out on this thrilling treasure hunt!
I bought some auction lots at my local Meccano club. Take a look and see what I got (and help me identify some stuff).

[@chrisharris3552]

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Cheers Chris, nice to have a chat in person. Your dalek is awesome!

[@storming_moose]

Check the jar of spring clips for oddly shapped ones that are the fixings for the tunnel gears. Thanks for the video.

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Good idea, was wondering if they were in there.

[@Nick965]

Wow, amazing value

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thanks Nick, I was very pleased with it.

Good to see you back. What ever happened to your mobile crane build? That step by step real time series was unlike anything else on CZcams and had me hooked.

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thank you. It's still there, and I promise I will get it moving again eventually. Just been busy with life and youtube and Meccano taken a back seat for a while.

[@telepresence]

Can you tell me what size Allen head bolts you use?

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

@@telepresence Hi, all Meccano bolts are made to thread size 5/32 Whitworth. The lengths vary.

[@meccanoman]

Exciting! The white Meccano looks cool, and you got plenty of more gears. Wonder what you'll do with the keyway/slot parts, and I'm also curious to know if those smaller gears are actual Meccano as you mention. The most fun I think here are those motors, which I had planed on ordering a few online this week myself actually.

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

I don't really know what I intend to do with most of it - I already have a load of keyways that I haven't used. Motors are always handy, although again I already have quite a few. Just couldn't resist it for the money, and more than happy with what I got. Do you want another package of stuff if you cover the postage? Send me an email.

[@meccanoman]

@@BaldyMakesStuff Copy that. That's sorta how I came across most of my collection as well. Exciting cause it's cheap, and never you know what you'll get. I'm happy to pay you postage and then some to cover the cost. I'm very interested in some of those motors. Sending you an email now.

[@michaelconduit5893]

the parts at about 11.54 are from dismantled eccentrics

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thanks Michael, I can see it now you tell me!

[@rimizoem]

I suspect the stray gears might do from a disassembled clockwork motor....

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thanks. Do you recognise them from a meccano one, or just a random clockwork motor?

[@rimizoem]

@@BaldyMakesStuff I meant a Meccano motor, I might be wrong.

[@garyhiggins6762]

The larger hooks were used with the Mogul crane

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thanks Gary, good to know.

[@garyhiggins6762]

Circular parts with two hole extensions are eccentric parts

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

Thanks Gary. I thought they looked familiar, I have a few eccentrics.
