Hi all,

I would like to obtain copies of the 2009 issues of Model Engineer that contained Tony Meek's article on building lamps for his 3 inch Allchin. I believe that this was probably volume 202, issues 4347, 4348, and 4349 but could be wrong.

Does anyone have spare copies that they would be willing to sell? Alternatively would it be possible to obtain photocopies or scanned copies of the article from someone please?

Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Best regards

Steve Goodbody

The online index starts around 2000 so I'm not sure if we're allowed to or encouraged to stick up the info you need

A mod will be able to tell us

Whole volumes can be bought from the dealers for £2, maybe a bit more if you need them posting. Or you could take out a digital subscription which would give you access to all back issues from about 2002.

We don't encourage copying or sharing scans on the public forum, the odd page is generally OK but not a whole article.

Have sent you a PM – the authorities can't mind if I lend you my copies.

I've yet to see anyone offering 13 copies of relatively recent issues of ME for £2

Many thanks to all for the responses. To clarify, I would happily purchase the specific issues (or the whole volume) if I could find someone selling them, however I have so far been unable to find anyone (including dealers) with those issues or that volume for sale. Hence my message.

I understand that I could purchase a digital subscription, but that seems to be a bit of a sledgehammer vs. nut option.

Robbo – I have responded to your PM – thank you.

Best regards

Thanks once again for everyone's help – I now have a copy of the article.

As full disclosure, I am the proud owner of Tony Meek's Allchin "Ruby Swann" and have two of the three lamps described and pictured in his 2009 article. I'm aiming to build the missing tail lamp but was unsure how Tony went about making the intricately louvered chimneys. The article perfectly describes his method and is exactly what I was hoping for.

Best regards,

Steve
