Not a machine but really useful tools.

Clearing out my van prior to flogging it I came across some of the most useful tools I ever bought for working on bandits.
The fact I last saw them over two years ago demonstrates I've done bugger all work on any bandits for a while.

Fantastic for hooking up springs at the back of slides, peering into awkward bits like the reel striker or holding a screw in place while lowering a screwdriver down through various bits of gubbins.

Dead cheap too.

I've ordered one today at 2.30..........

I don't think it really matters what time you order them jimmy, just make sure you're not holding one the next time you have an itchy bum.

TOOTH HURTY ???

More likely you'll rip yourself a new one.

Some years ago I was in Estonia and bought loads of these dental probes, needle point tweezers and several surgical lock clamps (some with long handles over 12" long - great for grabbing that screw that fell in the works) from an antique/junk shop selling old Russian Military equipment. These must have been expensive when new, as they are made of top quality surgical stainless steel and precision made (well Russian precision). I find these very useful. There was also a long nozzle metal syringe - great for precision oiling.
By chance I'll be in Russia and Estonia in two weeks time, so if anyone wants any of this stuff just let me know. I can bring back as much as I like because I'll be on a ship, not flying, so bringing in sharp, pointy heavy stuff is not a problem. I'm sure they will still have some - they had bins of it there. Let me know if interested.

Thanks to a long line of retired dentists in the family, I have a good set of these already. However, I've been nursing a toothache since Friday.

I do hope it was nothing you ate, like a dodgy stir fry?

[pennymachines]

On the contrary dear fellow. The stir fry was delicious. I blame my misfortune on damage done some years ago by a rogue dentist (no relation).

Particularly useful for coin slide reassembly spring reattachment, used mine a lot over the years.

I bought a set of these last year (For dental inspection, not slot machines )

The case that comes with it is pathetic, so made a little leather pouch for them - think they might have to move from the bathroom to my garage now...
