Source for a manual for my recently acquired Wadkin RD 16" ?

[Lord Kitchener]

I've bought one of these machines and it appears to be in excellent condition. I'm having trouble locating a manual for it, the usual suppliers such as Wadkin themselves, and others don't seem to list it.

I can probably figure it out, but would be happy to pay for a manual if anyone knows where I could get one. First job is to get the blunt blades out and putting new ones in might be a bit easier is I follow the approved method!

If nobody on here comes up with a solution ( sorry I don't have one ) get on the Canadian woodworking forum, they have a fair bit of wadkin knowledge on there and love the big machines. Saying that Wallace et al may be along to help out in a minute

Ty ebay, you can get manuals for most of the wadkin machines there, or from Wadkin daltons site, cheers, Mark
