hi roy

(excuse the pun) :roll: :roll: :roll: hc :lol: :lol: :wink:

 

[Digit]

I won't ask! :lol:
In all seriousness though, that price is stupid!

Roy.

 

[Waka]

You need to talk to Mahking51 about the price because he has one, not the one on e-bay I might add.

 

[Digit]

I'd want a motor on it for that price! :norm:

[Chris Knight]

Looks to be in pretty good nick but it's missing the hold-down.

hi roy

sorry ,I can't tell you , as i said i alway's wake up before :evil: so don't know the answer , i always try going back to the same dream, but no luck . hc :wink:

 

[head clansman]

hi digit

ok serious now , i do agree price wise it is expensive but where are you going to get a piece of kit like that nowadays , sadly a tool of the past .hc

 

[Ironballs]

I reckon for the money this will go for you could get a LN Iron Mitre and get a small engineering company to make a metal track for it to run in for less

 

[head clansman]

hi

yes it will, probably for about 650-750 ish a collectors piece, now , shame really i would love one but phew, there a lot i still need before,one day maybe.hc

As Chris mentioned it is missing the hold down, I think one with the hold down went for about the price you are are quoting hc at the beginning of the year.

 

[mahking51]

The hold down is nearly always missing; I still have hopes that mine will turn up as the people I got it from say that they did have it.
Silly really as its only a right angle casting with a slot in it; iirc someone in the US made a run of them a while ago but wanted silly money for them, maybe Derek can clarify?

PS I am currently sniffing after another one that I have just heard of very local to me for a VERY good price, fingers crossed, :twisted: :roll: :roll:

Another hold down or another 51/52 combo? If the latter then you're a jammy sod :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers, Vann.

Hi Martin

The holddown probably gets lost because it is not needed.

I don't recall ever seeing one in the wild with the holddown. I have a repro holddown. It was a rough casting and I needed to finish it - 95% done. I found this one in Australia. I did have a casting from the USA but it was a poor approximation of the real thing.

From the article on my website:

The real McCoy:

The two castings - the one I kept on the left, the "other" on the right ...

Dimensions of the real one:
