My issue was that the remote wasn't sending any signal . . . but you're right, the remote has to be within a couple of feet of the button panel and aligned to work (my box is attached to the ceiling and I'm tall enough to reach the buttons so now don't often use the remote)
Very much my experience with a faulty remote for the air filter machine - spoke to them at 1400, replacement arrived the following day. In fairness Yandles, the supplier, was helpful and advised direct contact with Record.
Two of our grand-children wanted to go to a 20-20 or Hundred (i.e. white ball) cricket match as a Christmas present - so they had something on the big day I made this:
Have to own up to buying the wooden ball, unpainted, ready made.
At the 8mm sort of size on wood they're not too bad with a little bit of post-punching sanding. [I do have a mini-CNC machine which would engrave but despite having for about 8 months I've yet to find time to learn how to drive it! So far it has a nice plywood case to store it in - using...
Has anyone seen a supplier of individual single letter steel stamps please? I just want about 9 different letters (I'll be using manual positioning and hitting with a hammer) - about 7 or 8mm high, all uppercase.
There is another Trend jig like the one being discussed - it's the "Pro" version that has adjutsable height columns to do what the shims do . . . it's about twice the price of the basic model!!
Here you go . . . .

The baseboard and fin to clamp in the vice. The Allen key for adjusting the width of the two columns is attached to the base board with a magnet - and there's a 12mm spanner (to tighten the compression bolt/cam) on a magnet on the other side...
The shim is on the base of the jig, so the part of the board being drilled sits on it (i.e. lifting the edge up from the base of the jig). I'm probably going to drill some thinnish material later today so I'll take and post a pic if I remember. I keep a couple of shims for different...
I have one of these - it's a good basic tool, but for thinner material you have to use shims (not supplied) under the edge of the timber and adjust the drill depth to change the position of the holes to prevent breaking out on the "good side" of the job.
I think you'll find that the large disc sander on the Ferrex/ALDI is very useful - rather more effective than the Triton belt . . . I have the ALDI machine and a Rutlands "Portable" Bobbin sander...
