    Default Thornley machines St Peters Sydney NSW

    Hi I thought it might be a good idea to start a new thread here re Thornley rather than tack it onto an existing thread. There was talk of listing all the Australian makers and whilst a list is some thing I would like to do of those I can think of next, a separate thread on each maker would make finding them later easier.

    Anyho here's a Thornley name plate that was in the stash.
    Will have to use the PC for the other info I have on them.

    I think a list of manufacturers in one thread would be a good idea. A link then could be placed to the thread with details expanded upon for that manufacturer and their machines etc.

    Sounds great.
    TTTG is hoping to get a Wiki type thingy happening for Aus manufacturers; like a version of Graces Guide (see; http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Main_Page )
    We just need to tidy up the internet stuff first...!
