    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'm now greatly looking forward to replacing the RB300 on my TD124 with Jamie's rewired 774.

    I'll start a new thread with an update when I get the arm mounted.

Then the bearings were locked in place.
    After all this time I'm not sure you could guarantee that the bearings don't need readjusting, but if there's no play in them when you move the arm they're probably fine.

    BTW, at shows Mike Knowles (who used to own the company) would have an HR100 on display and offer a free arm to anyone who could bend the display unit. No free arms were ever won
    Can you remember what size Knurled Thumb Nuts were used to hang the suspension springs in the turrets? A mate just purchased an old goldie and the suspension collapsed while adjusting. Much to my shock that pig iron chassis was held up on 3 nylon nuts. I nicked one from an old Alphason Solo in bits and they were brass. Fixed my mates suspension. I assumed they were M3 but they must be imperial. Bolt measures 2.66 to 2.7mm (M3 = 2.88mm) now my Solo is up the creek on 2 legs... Tried an old imperial nut but it was sticky and chewed into thread. Also tried a UTC 5 which was a bit baggy. Proper sticky situation.
