Advice needed for sale of S1
:( The last posts i placed were with regards to putting the S1 into deep sleep as work has taken me away. It has become apparent that this will be much longer than anticipated and the S1 should move on to a good (and more used :oops: ) home. I have one year to pay on it and I wonder what folk think;...

The garage is dry, warm even in dead winter but I will not have access to it - family members can check on its well being on my behalf :? . I was thinking of the battery out and up off its t...

All of hell was within it and trying to get out :twisted: Stun...
