Re: BDR reels spinning slowly

All sorted now. It was as simple as a weak spring not doing its job on the clock.

BDR reels spinning slowly

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.

My BDR top reel is spinning slowly and it seems to be because the ‘win pin’ starts to touch the lower win cog as soon as the sequence starts.
Has anyone experienced this and know a fix for it ?

Re: Making cabinets

I’d come to the conclusion that old furniture was probably what people used and you’ve just confirmed this for me.

Making cabinets

I’m sure it’s been asked before but where do people get their oak from if they have to make a new cabinet ?

I’ve noticed some cabinets are made out of several planks glued together but some are made in one piece.

Would love to know people's thoughts.

Oh well, with nobody coming forward with any help, looks like I’ll have to drop in and see Badpenny to see what I’m missing.

Re: Caille / Clement & Whales Countertop disc machines

Just in case anyone wants some artwork for this machine, here is what I've reproduced for mine.

It needs printing on an A3 sheet

Re: Small turned metal parts

Is this what you're looking for ?

Machined Pin.jpg

This took me just under 2 hours to make, plus the material (plus of course 2 hours lost time from my normal working day)

So, what would you think would be a fair price for it ?

I’ve tried to send you a private message, but for some reason it’s not sending.

Re: Caille / Clement & Whales Countertop disc machines

OK, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've stripped and cleaned my Caille Commercial mechanism, but something is not correct. If you look at the photo below, the sequence seems to be that when a coin is put in and the mechanism is cranked the lever B moves to the left, and lever C is pulled f...

Re: Small turned metal parts

Put some drawings on here and people will then know what skills they need. I’m an engineer with a couple of mills and lathes, but I like to see drawings before I say anything about how easy or difficult they would be to make.

Re: Caille Ben Hur

Do you think it’s a genuine Caille or could it be a Clement & Whales machine? What casting numbers should I be looking for?

Re: Caille Ben Hur

The case seems to have had a veneer added at a later date as under the top window, where I have removed it, there is no veneer and you can see the original mahogany finish.

Topic merged - Site Admin. Ok, so I’ve just picked this up from an auction house. Bit tatty on the outside but the mechanism works fine. Does anyone with experience of these machines want to give me any help in what to be aware of when taking these apart and reassembling? Does anyone have the artwo...

Re: It's Slick

I'm the new owner of the Slick flyer - which is really the first piece of original advertising I've actively gone after and been excited about. Maybe because it has some Australian connection, and the lovely deco letterhead. Slick also happens to be one of my favourite machines - I own two, plus a ...
