Win an Aero

I don't count my time as money as I love doing it so even selling at 500 to me would be a profit

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.

No I wasn't calling the "frame" a case but was hoping it would have protected the "innards" a bit.

Although I live in the middle of what was the biggest oak forest in the UK in medieval times good oak (old or new) is hard to find down here.

Interestingly, this machine was sold by a charity shop!! and included UK postage at just £12.50! I wonder if they were surprised at the money it reached, then shocked at the real cost of posting it.

I was interested in this machine but it sold for £420!! Seemed a bit too high to me with all that work needed

A sandblaster can save you time and money, but not if it tempts you to bid over £420 for a rusty allwin front.

I did bid on this charity entered machine but chickened out at £375. Just too much to do, but a memory jerker from my youth. P.S. I once bought a "CLOCK" with a cracked case from a charity shop in York, so they do come up at these shops now and again.

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 learning on a cheaper machine before moving up to the 'project' hi-top). I used it in the garden on a lovely sunny day. The results were fantastic and it was good fun too. Until the grass started to die. Lost about a third of the lawn and SWMBO was not happy .

It has not seen the light of day since

I did look for a suitable blasting cabinet, but lost interest in the hi-top before sourcing one.

Sorry, went a bit off topic.
