    Default Gday Hello and Red Fox

    Gday
    Dave here, all round maker off stuff, beater on the anvil and polisher of the wood, boom boom. Yes I'm old enough to be a Basil Brush fan.
    I mainly joined up to see if anyone can shed some light on my latest acquisition?
    A 4 x 12 Red Fox Thicknesser, Its a lovely machine and I'm very happy, I think it will give me years of good service, for half the price of a Chinese equivalent. I'm impressed with its cast iron build, damn its heavy. I have a copy of the sales brochure circa 1938, but what id like to get a copy off is the original operating manual??
    I read and old thread on here where some one mentioned having one? but I could post to the thread as it was to old.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Ill probably not be the most active member, but hope I can help out where necessary. It goes without saying that I will be sure to learn from you guys and gals.

    Thanks Dave

    Ps: this is the second forum I have joined, the other AULRO relates to Land Rovers, yes I like old machines and land Rovers!!

    Hi Dave,

    Welcome to the Forum. This one is a good one

    Can't help you with any details on an old thicknesser, but wanted to let you know I used to love Landy's too. Used to have a 1963 short wheelbase with a 161 Holden motor in it. It leaked like a sieve when it rained (wetter inside than out) but served it's purpose. Used it for putting my boat in - my logic - Aluminium - won't rust. Didn't think about the comfort (lack of it). Now progressed to FORD XR6 Ute - Beautiful. Anyway good luck with getting a Manual on the Thicknesser and hope you really enjoy the Forum.

    Regards

    Keith
