Thanks for tne bump.
In line pics added....didn’t realise about the rules.

Now, i’m buggered if i know why it hasn’t sold yet!

I guess TTs don’t rotate as much as other gear (no bad pun intended).

[philv]

Now reduced to 350.
The bits are worth far more.

Any cheaper and i'll use it as a paperweight.

[philv]

I can't understand why this hasn't sold, if all my spare cash wasn't going towards my holiday this month i'd have had it...

Beats me.
It owes me a lot more.
Surely a bargain, as the arm on it's own is worth £180.

You've not factored in the time and money I spent doing the thing up originally, or Phil's spend as well. Sometimes I get quite disheartened when people "expect" things for very cheap prices. :rolleyes:

[philv]

Yep...some excellent work by yourself and the gent from here who replinthed it.
A lot of time and expense in this deck.
I only danish oiled/waxed it.
