Yesterday whilst looking for a commercial water jet cutting firm I saw a for sale sign at an old factory in Canberra and I remembered this place because the owner had seven A Model machines for sale amongst others many years ago as he bought extensively at Govt Auctions. Well he now has advanced alsymers and other problems.
His daughter was visiting and we found two Hercus A,s about 1960,s vintage and in a cupboard two huge strings of Hercus loose gears including the wider ones for the later models. The lathes are two grand and he did not give me a price for the gears but the daughter is to ring me over the week end with the gear numbers and prices and prices for the lathes.
She the daughter is returning home from Canberra on Monday and wants to shift the stuff. her dad is bent to the ground and has massive problems and she fears having to move everything herself so she assured me of the contact by phone, I personally do not need anything but urgent pm,s would reach me if any of you are.
