They are very nice Rob, I am looking forward to the videos of the cupola, I must admit I have an urge to build one! Phil |

This is like "Memory Reloaded"! We had a Buck and Hickman shop in Salford! When the mates GF bought a beach buggy in 1973 we needed to get the rear drums off! B&H: 36mm 3/4 socket and a big breaker bar please? "Certailnly sir - no problem!" Very good price too Where are they now? Also for anyone who lived in Manchester: On the way up to Piccadily station (on the concouse approack) there was a tool shop/engineering shop with Myfords in the Window! Bought a few bits and pieces for my ML7 there (Forget the name though!) |

I must have been in there hundreds of times when I was at college in Manchester. I remember a new Myford ML10 was £150 - but I couldn't afford it! They're still going at Chester Road in Stretford. I don't know if they still have a showroom. Buck & Hickman are still going but they don't appear to sell machine tools any more. I have a catalogue with 1985 prices. An ML10 was £496 without any chuck or a motor. A Super 7b (again without a chuck or motor) was £1,436 (+VAT). Cheers. Phil. |
