Re: Unusual Mills mechanism

I wonder if the seller will part with just the star wheel from that rusty Mills... I need a cog for my rear wheel on the old pushbike, and that cog looks perfect for my bicycle chain to fit!!!!!!! :lol:

Elephant House 1st July Auction?

Post merged - Site Admin.

Is it worth the trip to EH next weekend for their auction of goods? It is listed as the 1st July 2018, 1pm on the website. Anyone heard different, or driven past EH to see if building work completed?
Don't fancy a wasted journey on Sunday!

Re: Caille Centre pull Victory Bell in Aberdeen??

LOL... It appears the seller did the rounds and contacted everyone hoping to get big bucks. He made out he knew nothing about it and inherited it. I bought one of these front pull Caille machines 3 years ago for £700 in full working order with all vendor bits too! Good luck if someone paid a grand!!!

Re: Mutoscope Owners

Has anyone seen or held a reel from a Mutoscope? Just wondered if the cards alternate with blank cards? Watching videos of reels playing, it looks as though there is a shorter card behind each picture card? Is this the case or do every card have a picture on?
Cheers for any comments

Re: MutoScope Owners

Bob,
Another question? I'm curious why all Reel cards have that hole below the picture? It does not appear to serve any purpose unless its used to help the alignment during manufacture?
What do you think?

Re: MutoScope Owners

Many thanks Bob for taking the time to do all those measurements, really do appreciate it.
I notice that there's a lack of dedicated forums for MutoScope owners to ask questions and exchange help.

Cheers again
