Re: Free to Alky's
Walt et al, I'll have to recheck the price--this is rural gun country up here from BB guns to howitzers. Like the gun club is next to the local airport! I bought these cartridges from the gun dept of K Mart, as used for CO 2 guns. I'll let you know the price for the heck of it. Usually prices are much higher here. Home Depot and Walmart haven't even reached the horizon. We all keep looking! Geoff.

Hi, Haven't priced them recently at K-mart, but a year ago they were the same price as one of the local bike shops, a little above $2.00 each. Last week the bike shop was asking $2.50. K mart does not use national pricing, local manager can use some discretion to raise prices except for regional advertised prices (trash mail & inserts). Keep your steam up! Walt
Re: Free to Alky's
Thanks Mr Lunk's associate, Jolly good tip! However, aren't those cartridges at K Mart far cheaper than 2.50 each!! That is where I have been buying mine. Scotch? why, my dear fellow--Tanqueray gin! Speaking of alcohol, I just bought 5 gallons of methanol from a local gasoline distributor--$18.80. I persuaded them to "break" a barrel! So now I have a regular supplier for my hot little beasts. NO!, it didn't cost me a bottle of Tanqueray! Geoff--Hic! Hi, >For those of you that use Alcohol, here's a freebie for you (no Geoff, not to >drink).

Free to Alky's
Hi, For those of you that use Alcohol, here's a freebie for you (no Geoff, not to drink). Check the name on the fire extinguishers at work or in the Public Library, or your local pub. The service company throws away the CO2 cartridges many of use in the bicycle inflators that we extinguish the alcohol burners in the live steamers. These cartridges must be replaced every year or so even if they have not been triggered! The guy that services the Depot extinguishers gives me a handful of them every year. Saves Mr. Lunkenheimer about $2.00 or $2.50 for each cartridge we use on The SWAMP RR. Keep your steam up! Mr. Lunkenheimer's associate PS Even though lovable ole "Goeffy" claims to be 'Anglish' we all know he has some Scotch in his blood, eh wot?
