Nice piece of history there James...

James

Aye!
I have the MM2 wick burner, they are kinda rare 
And this was a time in the early 50's, when England was still suffering from rationing, so to show they extended the market to America this early is pretty cool

No chance!
I might photocopy the advert and do a little stand/display at STIA 
|
James

Now, to photocopy the SE4!!

The SE4 might be harder to copy

Good one James
When you get it, any chance of a scan and putting it up in the Mamod Adverts threads?
Also MM, could you do the same mate?
|
James
|
Thanks guys and gals!
I don't own a scanner, BUT I might be able to lend one from somewhere

LOL, you must find out mate. Utilise the facilities while you can mate
|
James

Too busy utilising the lasses

First bit of advice,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE SCHOOLS COMPUTERS WITH ESBIT OR METHS!
I bet James could turn on that charm that he is so famous for and convince a School Secretary or Librarian to do the job, or maybe some young Lass that is interested in computers to do the job.

I've known people who seem to think a good solid kick is the right way to start a computer though, unlike for a motorbike, it's really a good way to stop it.
Remember: Percussive Maintenance is best left to the professionals. We know when and where to thump it proper.
...which means we know how to satisfy our vengeful urges without actually wrecking the miserable POS...
Great ads, but I'd rather bask in the warm glow of the sun reflected from the SE4 boiler

That is a great buy James. I'll have a look through my stuff, I'm not sure what the date of my earliest advert is but I'll see if I have anything Mamod that goes back that far. It will be hard because I guess you're only looking for something between 1936/7 and 1939.

I wish I could find some adverts for OZ engines.
They exist but are very hard to find. 
|
James
|
Thanks guys!
LMAO I had a good laugh then
Ummm, naa, the secretary looks like she's been dug up and warmed up, and the library people are so far up their own arses that their hair colour is no longer blonde- it's brown

That's a really great ad james, I'm sure you could find one of the older lasess to teach you how to use the scanner properly, .
