FORUM

Is this the earliest known photo of BP and JC?
Taken at Blackpool 1958, it's the choice of machine that is the dead give-away

yes it was me ofcourse,but I really dont understand the guys view I was actually going to say I was selling then decided to say Id seen it, as my user name is the same there and here it was hardly hiding. my bad choice of words really,I never thought about hiding

THAT'S what this forum is all about and so good at: question asked... question answered.... and all the rest of us learn a little bit more about the hobby...

I cannot believe you have another surely

Can you believe I never had one in the first place?
Never once said it was mine, only that I have it. To quote an old Ebay chestnut, I'm "selling it for a friend".

Here is a video of it in action:

Trust you to say something bad about a post of mine. Nothing new there as usual

once read that due to its size and weight you need to steady them with your hand otherwise they move as you pull the handle. Is that true? I also heard they were shipped here as new crated for 10/- ????? No not true really,the handle is more of a downward movment than a normal pull so its quite sta...

even more Little Duke photos

aditional photos for the Little duke in the Pennymachine auction

I should have bought the towel vendor,it was local to me and I liked it, just seen another really nice machine on ebay....but I can afford it

Dont know why but I reall like this railway platform towel vendor

For the benefit of newbees: Sometimes when I repair machines it occurs to me that someone new to the hobby might gain from what I'm doing at the time, so with that in mind and the fact that my memory is so bad I'll have to look it up myself in the future, I thought I'd write short articles that migh...

The really annoying thing is that it was those shouting the loudest who were the most conspicuous by their absence. I even recall a number of machines being pledged..........and that's the last we heard. I hope you dont mean me JC, I did pledge machines to a summer auction ..to be held in the south...

You live in the north BP, you only know one sauce... brown

Does this image challenge your gender assumptions

Im impressed by the size of your onion

will there be a list of results from the latest auction?

I know what you mean ................Veneers!!!

NO these are not veneers. These can be bent into a circle - try doing that with a veneer. More of a stick actually.

No, he lives on the other side of the ditch

Simply very thin strips of solid wood. Amost all common woods are available from lime to teak, thin enough to be very pliable. The width of the strips is not very wide but similar to balsa sizes I believe. I'll upload a template of the different colours when I can get to the box it's in.

Thinking about what bP said about it shouldn't be working for free as shown in the photo, the only way it would make sense is if the power IS getting to the mech, all the time, as soon as the mech is pushed back in. As it stands in the photo, it's in the correct position because the power has been c...

One thing not quite clear from the photos and would be the first thing to check is, is the power from the case getting to the mech? There is a a socket inside the case (which we can see from the photo) but it's not all that clear if the plug is located on the mech ready to connect when the mech is p...
