Default Kevin, Ron, Richard, and others.

As it appears that (amongst 10 of us anyway) I have the only one left on the planet, that won't happen.
I have a better idea. I will take mine to a local bloke who does a bit of casting, and ask him to make some copies (I'm sure they wont be as good as what Ben is getting done) but they won't be too bad.
Hobsons choice lads.
I have had two bad experiences with the Canadian, and the Australian Postal services in the last year. They both came good in the end. But I am not prepared to risk it.
Nothing will happen until the new year, but those of you who think they want one, had better let me know. I will only get the numbers requested, and have no reason to make extras. I can then get a price based on numbers, and let you know. There will only be one run.

I don't blame you for your caution Lyn. But your offer to get some cast would do me fine as I suspect would be the case for others here in UK.
So let me start the count by declaring myself No1

Thanks a million, Ron

Hi Lynn

Just a thought but is there any reason it can't be made from a section of steel pipe or thick walled tubing ?

Although I have the smaller insulated base as well as parts of the larger I always had it in mind to turn new ones out of hardwood (even bought a wood lathe to do it) and make the toothed part to fit the insulator and my cast brass ribbed base plate. All theoretical of course...

Cheers

Phill

Can I suggest that when the time comes for Lyn to make a move with this, that we pay him a deposit, (or the amount in full if he has a quote). This would prove our commitment and avoid him getting stuffed with unclaimed goods. Ron
