Comments:

This machine has been completely restored and rebuilt in my workshop in the United Kingdom. I won this in an ebay auction in mid 2013 for the American equivalent of approx $40. It was last seen working with the vendors father in 2000. He had acquired it from an aeronautical firm (Westlands of Yeovil, Somerset, UK)upon his retirement. The restoration process can be seen in my website www.boleynworkshop.com so please have a look. Apart from the shot blasting of the machine head all work was carried out by myself and my apprentice AC.
