Re: Jubilee Riviera chrome

I paint them with Hammerite and they normally turn out half decent. I also paint the Aristocrats when chrome is beyond it and they normally turn out good with a bit of time spent on them. I have to admit I do go a bit radical on the colours haha but I like to be different. :)

Re: Caille 4 reeler

I kind of worked out that’s what the thin bit of copper is for , works a bit like a slipping clutch , I stripped the complete mech down for cleaning anyways so will see how it goes after the rebuild , nice quality mechs as well :)

Re: Caille 4 reeler

Seems to be a free spinning reel, maybe it just works off the first reel and it’s not meant to spin fast? All there is is a shaft and a little copper strip.

Re: Caille 4 reeler

There had to be a way of making it spin though. There is no disc for it, like you say, so nothing to spin it.

Caille 4 reeler

Does anyone know what makes the first reel spin on one of these? It's not connected to anything.

Re: Schwarz Bandit - Silent Doppel - Jackpot

I've just had half a dozen messages and more photos exchanged with the vendor; seems a nice guy. We'll see if he adds them to his description. You've seen one recently Tom, in my front room, remember? tura-bell.jpg The paint bothers me as he's used a metallic spray and then laquered it. Could be a ...

Re: Elephant House Auctions

The EH was packed today. No chairs to sit on either....bandits are my interest and today was definitely a good day for sellers. Unfortunately for me, I decided to pass on the Buckley bones to save my money for the Jennings buckaroo which did look really nice. As it happened I missed out on both. I ...

Re: It's happening again

Yes, you can remove an item but, like chrissie says, if someone has contacted you even if you have not replied they will charge you the final value fee. I've had loads of arguments with them and unless you can afford a top class lawyer to fight them there is nothing you can do.

Re: It's happening again

And another thing if you remove the listing and someone’s asked for a sale outside eBay , whether you sold it or not that way they charge you final value fee :(

Re: It's happening again

My stuff's been removed all year even down to spare parts, been suspended more than I have been active, but I did notice every time something got removed was always just after I declined an offer by a certain somebody, so I have my suspicions.

Re: De-chrome and polish

Good luck sanding chrome off, it's the hardest substance I've ever tried to remove. Better to take it to a platers and get it chemically removed.
