I believe you are talking about the reserve flap. I dont think so,Ive made these for people before, it bolts securely to the case (as the holes show) I believe that either the conversions did away with the reserve flap or the later models didnt have it at all.(the retaining lugs are always still th...

Love the machine. How about when one particular sequence of, let's say, four switch movements in the correct order causes the phone to ring; when the phone is then answered this causes a new random unknown sequence to be set?

sad news indeed..she will be missed for sure. Steve is not everyone's cup of tea to be sure but it can't be denied he's had a disastrous couple of years, let's not forget he fell from the EH roof and nearly did for himself plus hasn't been able to run an auction for over a year as well as all his ot...
