I had to check to see that Martin C did not correspond with Martin Baker

and we occasionally get sonic bangs when the boys in blue from Mont-de-Marsan base get it just that bit wrong on low-level sorties..
with many buildings around here roofed with Roman tiles, they do rattle a bit !

If you have difficulty tracking a parcel and have the (13digit/char) tracking number, try 17track dot net.
It has worked well for me

Perhaps when one has found and fitted the handles,
all would then be 'shipshape and Bristol fashion' ?

replete with tassels perchance ?

Brian, just a thought, as it is an older machine and may have sat around for some time before your acquisition, the belts may have taken on a 'set' where they sat round the pulleys and be giving you the vibration. May be worth your while replacing the belts before going further.

Did you eventually treat yourself for your birthday Peter and, if so, what was your feedback ?

on ebay you can specify price-range and geographical areas to search on left-hand side of page.

Perhaps because I bought a copy rather than the brain
Brian Wood, available from ARC or even on-line. Great book and deserves a pat on the back

+1 and while the 'nominal working voltage" is 3.7V (minimum discharge voltage ) the fully charged voltage is 4.2V

^^ Thanks for the report NDIY but surely "Frances was" , etc ???
it's almost hypnotic to watch a lacer and some of the bobbins are works of art in themselves.

Also, if the lease is less than approx 75yrs ( not the case in this example but.. ) then mortgage lenders are more reluctant to lend on the property if you were to sell, which could well have a negative impact on potential buyers.

Handsome is, as handsome does.

+1 thank you - I will have to make such an assembly jig after failing to do a good repair free-hand

Just about on-topic
Mid 70's was sitting in a 747 on the ramp at Lagos airport with a guy from the company dispatch giving me a carrier bag full of broken Motorola walkie-talkies to take back to London and watching a chap with a shopping trolley equipped with a jerry-can and funnel. He was using a glass cylinder on a pole to 'dip the sump' of the fuel tanks repeatedly, examining each sample carefully for water content, dumping it into the can and taking another sample. I asked the company guy whether the fuel in Lagos was contaminated ? No, he said, the dipper guy was just being super-efficient, mentioning that the guy was one of the better-off in the villages that surrounded the airport. Naively I enquired whether his job was so well-paid. No was the reply but all the villagers cooked on paraffin stoves.

Can't resist, bearing in mind your other post Ron --- what thread should you have posted in , BSP/UNF ???
DaveD

Derek,

a low cost alternative for testing purposes - if you can lay your hands on a car wheel and tyre, bodge-up a screw that will fit tightly in the end of a plastic aquarium-type tube, flatten two sides of the head to allow air to pass and position the head of the screw to depress the pin on the Schrader valve when the tube is pushed on. You can adjust the tyre pressure to suit. Good for a few attempts to run/seal whilst you wait for a compressor.
