Re: Groetchen Twenty One
Looks good! Was that a textured paint at all or just plain paint?

Re: Groetchen Twenty One
Thanks. I managed to get a fleeting glance of the springs via the video so managed to cobble this together with a brass bar and some springs. I didn’t have 5 identical springs so it’s slightly lopsided which I’ll address but it works. 97C04EDB-1D93-4ACF-B11F-F39720183C85a.jpg Next question. I’m goin...

Groetchen Twenty One
I’ve just taken delivery of one these from auction. Prob paid over the odds, but I liked the look of it. I plan to smarten it up a bit. It mostly works but the reels brakes don’t work. The reels just free wheel to a random stop. Comparing to a video I found online... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Re: Yale locks for super challenger
Thanks for that. I must admit I started with the assumption they wouldn’t be available and went from there... how wrong was I?! A bit of searching suggests they look like Yale lock s236. Prices seem to vary from £9 to £25! I need to get the machine open to confirm the barrel is the same etc but look...

Yale locks for Super Challenger
I’ve just acquired a Holt Super Challenger.
There are no keys for the locks and they may have been damaged anyway so a re key is probably unlikely. Does anyone know of a modern source for similar replacements or anyone got any old ones?

Re: Oliver Whales wood?
That’s interesting. Could well be the case. Mix and match I guess.

Re: Oliver Whales wood?
So, here’s the machine in the mahogany case. The remaining varnish makes it look a bit more like oak but it’s definitely not. The sides and door are mahogany like the other piece I sanded. I’m quite keen to get working on it to see how it looks when restored....! The fun bit will be finding some mah...
