Thanks Bingy man Stanley named parts do appear very expensive, hence my description of exorbitant. I am hoping that some 'non specific Stanley spares' will work on my boiler i.e. cheaper but still good quality spare parts. A further regret is that Stanley owners do not have a dedicated forum; it...

Profchris Delay about 30 (ish) minutes before it will restart. Sometimes it will restart automatically; sometimes I need to press a thermal push in button. Old pump is working, i,e, screwdriver onto pump outer casing and 'into' ear and I can hear sounds I will try Oven only procedure. Bingy man...

Has anyone worked-owned-repaired a Gas Fired Stanley Super Star Boiler-Oven-Central heater from the Waterford stable at Bilberry, Ireland. My old, wonderful early 1990 but now a bit wonky boiler needs attention. It is starting up but always shutting down after 7 or 8 minutes. I am carrying out...

Hello and welcome.

What a marvelous service "Repair Cafés" I have never heard of them but after a little research I am interested BUT do I have the time to try and set one up in the Whitehaven, Egremont, Cleator Moor general area of West Cumbria.

All are now located slightly visible to visitors on a top, darkish, corner shelf, ..BTW I cleared the spider web while I was up the ladder.

Welcome to this multi-national group of helpful wise men and women.

Thank you both PerryGun & AJS Yes I took out a weekly subscription last year to the Times & The Mail. So they are free and unexpected with visual but no other value. I will consider placing them in a "out of reach-top of shelf-dark area" and tell our guests of the exceptionally high value...

Unexpectedly with no message the following box with coins (see pics) arrived, correctly addressed to me. I have done reasonable google search but I cannot find what the coins are made from, the cost/value etc. Can any one tell me what they are and where they can be viewed online. I will wait to...

I though "Riparian rights" in the UK gave ownership of "natural watercourses" to owners of land at the ownership side to the centre of a natural watercourse. Accordingly; if the land on both sides of a stream etc is owned by the same person they have full Riparian ownership. I further thought...

In the mid 1970s I set up a standard letter ending for a UK local authority. "If we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us". Months and many-many letters later I discovered it had been sent out as. "If we can be of any further assistance please do not contact us"...

Received proper clock oil and carefully and ?? minusculey (is this a new word) applied it. 7++ days and still running. Again thank you all.

Thank you everyone to-date with possibly more replies to come. Those who are using Turmeric with black pepper where is the most cost effective (i.e. cheapest) place to buy for a strong dose of ?? curcumin.

Has anyone tried a daily dose of Turmeric for arthritic aching bones/joints. Is it worth using it, or is it just another scam for someone to sell a product. If you have found it to be o-kay-ish what strength etc do you recommend. BTW (1) it is for er-in-doors, a lovely lady who in her pram heard...

Welcome and a repeat of all earlier posts especially Stigmorgan's.

Thanks to everyone; this is a magnificent & knowledgeable bunch of people who are always willing to help. My grandads mechanical clock movement is now working; 48 hours and counting, no pun intended. Procedure: Ask for help on UKWORKSHOP Forum Listen, consider then use new knowledge, combined...

Fergie 307 thank you for your fulsome replies. I am following some of your advice, restricting myself to products I have immediately available. I hope my immediately prior response shows you more clearly how the movement operates. IF I can get the movement working I will purchase & use more...

Hello again. and thank you all. I attach 2 x additional pics which hopefully will more clearly explain the mechanism. The movement works erratically 5mins-ish and stops sometimes 5 hrs-ish and stops. Even upon applying my wonderful technical ability i.e. coffee, swear, shout at my wife; it just...

Hello all Repair Shop is no from me, fancy me having to explain how the movement came into my grandads v v worthy hands. BTW 20 yrs ago I took the clock into a far north UK clock shop, close-ish to where I live; to have them service it. The rather elderly lady at the counter took it into the...

Hi Stuart I am working on a smallish mantle pendulum clock my grandad made about 1930-ish. He made the case and undoubtedly 'liberated' a clock movement from a factory he was night watchman at; the movement could have been a clocking in unit. My knowledge of clock movements and how to repair...
