Oooooohhh!!! I do like the boxed lineshaft!! If you ever want to sell it please let me know!

Just finished collection the range of engines now, and now starting on collecting the tools. Why do you have 5 table saws and four fans! Lol


Sorry but the boxed or any other lineshafts are not for sale.

The saws and fans keep breeding.

...do you have one of these?

I don't personally, but that reminded me that I have 2 of these



These were pretty expensive in their day at 25/- in 1948 -- a flatbase MM1 cost 21/3 then




I like those, the ones I've seen on ebay went/go for silly money.

Like these two.

Wow! I got mine about a year ago on eBay for silly money in the opposite direction. I didn't think I had a chance and bid on both -- from the same seller.

I got one for £6.62 but had to shell out a  whopping £8.83 for the other one.

I wish I could get some for those prices.

My only SEL. This was a boat anchor and had to be extensively refurbed. It came up nice in the end though.

I have a meager collection of SEL by any ones standards

the box belongs to the 1540 and the 1530 needs a piston,level plug and it would like an original flywheel



I would not call it meager dennis its a great collection of SEL
