I don't know if you're talking about a different "little Duke" than the one I know. On the well known Jennings Little Duke the reels spin the wrong way to work in this machine.

A super job, well done !THUMBS! I like Boland machines because of their many variations and the fact that they often cry out for restoration rather than preservation due to their often very dilapidated state. I think most are very desirable BUT every now and again one crops up that makes you wonder ...

With this machine, I hadn't even seen a photo at that time. I have now and it turns out it's a rare one mu...

I'm trying to fix this machine for the friend who now owns it. He bought it quite cheaply at auction and it has a few problems but I think I can deal with it with some expert help from the forum.
