Re: Elephant House Auctions
I had a quick look at the collector connector website. I may have this wrong but it seems like all the past auction results are gone. They are retrievable but you have to pay a subscribtion fee which is £10 pcm. Is this correct?

Re: eBay specials
That merchandiser is near me in Norwich. It's a salvage dealer.
I think the price is optimistic, to say the least!
He also has a French crane which is a snip at £16k

Re: Media blast set up for home use
Thanks for all the replies, if it makes loads of dust, then that's me out. I have finished machines in my workshop as well as stock for my business that would be a real problem if contaminated with dust, so it's a definate NO from me, but thanks

Media blast set up for home use
Has anyone gone the extra mile and bought their own media blaster set up to do mechs and castings? I know someone less that a mile from me who powder coats for a living, but he is always super busy, with major contarcts with Birdseye and big buisness. I can see the look on his face when I walk into ...

Re: 50 years today
Can vaguely remember emptying old pennies out out my piggy bank, for my mum to change at the post office!
My Question is, what prompted this change of coinage, we didn't enter the common market until 1973?

Re: Vending machine advice
So I thought you might be interested in the end product. First time I’ve tried using water slide decals. Scanned/made up some artwork and inkjet printed them. A bit fiddly to get on. I damaged one but adds to the slightly vintage look I guess. Tricky to get stuff to fit the machine. But ended up wi...

Re: Clacton-on-Sea - The Pier Bally Machines
Hi I had some dealings with the Harrisons in the early noughties. Mainly with Ted Harrison Sr.(RIP) One of the last vintage machines still in operation then was a very worn out Streamline Novelty Merchantman. I can remember the whole case was coming apart, but all the castings were there apart from ...
