Re: classic bot restorations

A lot of the retired guys don't use the forum I imagine and also probably have too much sentimental attachment to their machines.

Re: classic bot restorations

Will put Erics photos in the thread once its fixed too, still needing a lot of work even if it does look ok.

To be honest, it just needs some of these: http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/ ... 873_zl.jpg

Doesn't need that much to get it going. One bit removed from the hydraulics and replaced with a pressure test point and the electrics replaced.

Hopefully there is a multipack saving on those Jamie . I have him lying on his side just now to prevent that until its fixed

Here's a nice little restoration for someone, most likely as a static display;

Re: classic bot restorations

Very strange that this comes up a few days after we start talking about restorations of old bots .

The Stag's not as cool as Eric though
