Two other questions - do Portamill still exist? Does anyone know a contact no if the are still around. Thanks for your help

send you instructions on how to adjust the mill to work correctly , i have a electric motor on mine and use it all the time cheers Bob

I've just purchased one of these mills in North West Tasmania and am about to embark on a restoration. Wondering if there are any of them still operating anywhere as they were originally designed or if they have been up graded in some way. I need to replace the beam and I'm trying to decide if I'll stay with it as was or go to a more conventional style with rails on the ground....
