    Default Wadkin CK Radial Arm Saw Anybody?

    Here's a screenshot of Wadkin listings on Trademe ATM.

    Counting? Not one, not two.. but FIVE Wadkin CK radio alarm saws (but not much of anything else). They must have sold a ton of them over here.

    Of the 28 Wadkin CKs listed in the CWW thread, 24 were sold in New Zealand.

    I believe that with the acquisition/merger with Bursgreen, production was shifted to one of the Bursgreen factories and the CK became the BCK. There have been several BCKs show up over here too (but I haven't recorded them as they don't fit the Wadkin Green Lane factory test number system).

    Default An Aussie One.

    I found an Australian CK !! The tag is among many tag photos I've borrowed from the net over the last few years.

    Unfortunately I didn't keep a pikkie of the machine itself .

    Do you have a photo of the tag? Or better still, photos of the machine as well. You'll probably have to do 3 posts before you can add photos (I think that still applies). Nearly there .

    Bummer, I'm not an Instagram user (I don't like the format, nor the Company) - and as far as I can tell, guests can no longer browse.

    Thanks for that link. On the few occasions I've gone to Instagram lately, I can't get past the 'login' page.

    What a great variety of nicely done-up Wadkins: DR, PK, CK, MF (or MA?), EKA and EQ (or EPA). And I think there was an RD buzzer in there too?

    Nice.
