What indexing system for cataloguing do you use Martin? {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)

Probably the same as mine, ie
If it's not in the workshop its in the shed, or the green shed, or the garage.
I know it's not in the spare bedroom cos I was in there this morning. etc.etc.

Not my shed but I'm guessing.... 'it's around here somewhere...!'

Hey, Baldrick,Where did you manage to get your EMCO drill stand?Tony :-))

Now that's a SERIOUS jumble Martin.
Respect! :-))

Martin's photos remind me of Richard Howard's Model Boat Museum at Beale Park which was stuffed to the rafters with a mixture of purchased and loan boats.
Does anyone know what has happened to the collection following his death, it was very much his personal hobbyhorse.

Hi Tony . It's actually a Unimat 3 set up as a vertical mill but with a change of milling chuck to drill chuck it makes a versatile drill press . I bought the machines some years ago and have just given all 3 a good overhaul and clean . Biggest problem is keeping corrosion at bay over the winter as even a waterproof shed can get a damp atmosphere during a bad winter . I have just bought some Ambersil corrosion inhibitor spray to see if this helps keep rust at bay

Oh my goodness Martin it looks like an Island after a hurricane has hit the coast {-) Thats the only other time I've seen boats stacked up like that {-)

Thanks Baldrick. Does the switch still work effectively because I've had to cobble together a replacement on my U3 lathe.

as was his garage, as well as radio control planes, boats there was a couple of interesting full-size car s (it was a garage after all ) . A rare 4 door Maserati if I remember in mafia black and a replica D type Jaguar, cant remeber the other one, too busy looking at the ship models, most with their own R/C transmitters.

Hi Tony.
Switch is fine , you can of course rotate the motor against the backplate so that the switch comes in a comfortable position.
Am I correct in reading that the switch on your U3 is broken ? If so I have a motor which is duff (Bearings worn out and commutator damaged) but the switch as far as I know is fine . If you would like it to use to repair yours with you are welcome, just squawk . Balders.
