tin score.

[Lloyd Smale]

Wife came through again. Maintenance supervisor at the hospital she works at told her he had some tin bars and wanted to know if i wanted them. He said hed take 50 bucks for it but didtnt know how much he had. i told her to write him a check. She brought home 66 lbs of it. I had it check at the lab at the local paper mill today and it tested 99 percent tin 1 percent antimony. Ive never seen this alloy before and have no clue what its used for.

It's a misplaced alloy from Kansas, I'm glad you found it for me Lloyd please send back to me.:mrgreen::mrgreen:

Nice score Lloyd that will go good with that pure lead score you had a few weeks back.

Fantastic. Reminds me of the day I was talking to a metalurgist and he gave me a LARGE bearing carrying LOTS of tin based babbitt. The babbitt will likely see me out. Ah, happy days.
