Hi John, Excellent news I bet you are chuffed! I also used steve from landylift to move my Covmac from Scarborough to Langtoft, We had him for the day and ended up moving another three machines round the village! He is a good guy, and knows the moving game.

OH NO!! John, the dials are in.....................foreign
(Just like my Harrison mill of the same era)
It was quite a shock the first time I went to use it, I had cleaned it, drained the coolant, cleaned it up, painted it (Green, alright look, Im sorry but it was already green and only needed touching up, and I would have preferred grey, but never mind) Put the vice on, set up a simple job (slotting a 1 1/2 BSP plug for a compressor cylinder head) Twas then I noticed ! Having never used a metric machine before, I was worried, but I speak a bit of French, and I thought, Damn you Napolean, how difficult can it be, and the answer is, not very! Congratulations John, It looks like it has hardly been used! Can't waid for the nightcap.
