No! It could not be that simple, but I will laugh my 'thruppenny bits' off if this turns out to be the case.

Re: Mills wing nut gone missing
Now if you had a rare earth magnet (every workshop should have one, will cost you about £10 for a good one or salvage one from an old micro wave) fixed to a handle and moved around like a metal detector over the whole area it will find every pin,screw, nut, bolt bolt and metal filing you ever lost ...

Re: What screw size was used for the Mills Escalator
I wasn't recommending it, Paul. Merely confirming that these things are out there and offering it as an example of one such product. At the other end of the scale, there is also a product costing less than £8. It is highly rated in the reviews, but looks a bit flimsy....

Re: What screw size was used for the Mills Escalator
I would love to get hold of a template for testing screw sizes and types, the amount of times I have bought expensive bags of the damn things only to find the wrong size They are out there Treefrog.

Re: Win an Aero
I agree with Widget, I'd have bid more if I had his sandblaster. I'm trying to set up a baking soda blaster but I don't have anywhere that can handle the mess. :#: Good call, Paul. The one and only time I used my soda blaster was when sprucing up my Novomat (I started on this with a view to learnin...

Re: Isle of Wight Shanklin sale
I live within sight of the IoW and even have my own boat to get there. Forgot completely about this auction! Having read some of the feedback, though, I am quite pleased I did as the two machines I would have been interested in sound like they were duds.

Re: VINTAGE slot machine website changes hands
Hi, BP and PC. Congrats on taking over Stuart's wonderful slottie site. Few minor queries, if I may? 1. Did Stuart's site not have a list of useful links? 2. How do I know when my registration as a member is complete? Or is this a work-in-progress? 3. Why am I asking these questions from PennyMachin...

Re: Beware the Elephant House Auctions
Six months? Unreal. In your shoes, I would have assumed the machine is gone and had them in the Small Claims Court ages ago. Trouble is, whilst I get the impression that criticism is nothing other than water off a duck's back to EH, I am not sure that is entirely fair. EH is a business, the purpose ...

Re: Reeman Dansie auction
I am one of those poor fools who bought a machine unseen via the 'net. It was an Aristocrat Sheerline and, upon delivery, it did not even get through the door: the case collapsed when the courier removed it from his van! Luckily, the mechanism was good and my son constructed a new case (from MDF!) u...

Re: Help save Colwyn Victoria Pier
Grade 2 listed? I suspect that was a bit of wishful thinking. In this case, they would first have to work out who the owner is, then hope it is one who a) has very deep pockets and b) is happy to gamble their kid's inheritance on trying to save something like this. Personally, I find it quite obscen...

Re: Help save Colwyn Victoria Pier
Sometimes, things are just too far gone to save. Preservation needs to start before the rot reaches the point of no return. In this case, it looks like that particular ship sailed a long time ago.

Re: Shpock/gumtree/ebay
Fantastic mechanism! I wonder what American coin is the size of our 5p? I thought their smallest was the 1 cent which (almost) matches our sixpence.

Re: Jennings Arm Damper Service
Nicely done, Paul.
I surprised myself by being surprised at how simple (and effective) this mechanism is. I guess I have gotten too used to looking at a PCB and immediately avoiding any further thought on the matter.
