Just saw this post about checking teeth with UV light, and my tooth seems similar. Shown using a 365nm UV torch

I don't have much experience, do roots glow under UV? Looking at it more closely there doesn't seem to be much detail on the root, and it looks very similar to the restored enamel section. The description mentioned repair, but did claim it had an actual root

Sellers description "This is a massive tooth, 4.88 inches long The enamel part is 2.99 inches and 1.65 inches wide at the base of the root. The tooth has most of the original enamel and a long root. Apiece of the crown has been restored at the base, near the root. The tooth has been repaired."

This is going in the scrap. Looks far too cool for that, anyone want it for a box of beers or something? Pick up East Auckland during business hours, you'll need a truck, we have a forklift.

PC hard drive has died but otherwise mechanically sound.
The suppliers have said the software can be reinstalled on the PC (with a new hard drive), or a new PC can be bought and newer software installed.

I always admired this vinyl visiting my granny in my youth, and now it's mine! I'm still perplexed as to why she has it, she claims to have never seen the film and it's quite different from her other albums. Pressed in New Zealand interestingly.

Listed as "Genuine 1966 military edition four-color communication signal light, designed for detection and rescue, collectible, imitation of foreign signal lights."

There's also a video. The knobs slide up filters changing the colour of the light.

I thought I could get away without stabilising this piece, but after some advice I'm going to give it a couple of weeks of electrolysis before I go any further
