What spares Alex, unless there's something missing or broken the only things that usually need changing are bearings & springs.

It's a scraper Alex. Take no notice of the daft advice that you have been given the best place for that heap of junk is the scrap yard.

Seeing as you have very little time on your hands let me know where it is and I can arrange to have it disposed of.

You can't lose Alex, good old fashioned solid kit. They're always sought after so you could sell it on if you didn't fancy the restoration (or take up Vics' very "generous" offer).

I have a newer Meddings which is excellent and I believe the old ones were even better.

Good investment at that price Alex..

 

[Penpal]

Wise decision Alex.
