Obviously people don't agree with me about the removal of adverts from old magazines. Fair enough, that's your privilege. And ok, maybe there is a market for old complete magazines, but that's not something I'm too bothered about. My thoughts on this matter are that sometime during the next 20 years either I'll become incapacitated from whatever, in which case I'll have other things to bother about, or I'll fall off this mortal coil, in which case I won't be able to bother about them at all. I'm also reasonably certain that members of my family won't be bothered either. Indeed, I rather suspect that clearing my workshop will be so time consuming that a lot of it may well go for scrap. Actually, thinking about it, I don't have that many ME magazines, but I do have all the MEW ones, which I think are more or less complete except for the intended pull-outs such as Harold Hall's initial data book series.

I also have the complete set of first issue WPS books. Most are in very good condition, except for Tubal Cain's Hardening, Tempering & Heat Treatment which has suffered due to being "Read, Marked and Inwardly Digested". Now these could well be worth something. But I am digressing away from the original points of this thread.

Seriously though, I've said what I think, and I acknowledge that other people will think differently, and that's how it should be in a "free" world.

Norman,

You raise an interesting point there.

Given that the JT taper is steeper than the Morse, and also much shorter; the JT should, in theory release first !

Thanks Peter

With a good deal of scrabbling around I eventually discovered issue 96 "filed" on the bottom shelf of my wife's needlework cupboard ( It seem that I am sharing some the "spare space" there but I don't know if she has cottoned on yet.)

My mill is a bit bigger than that shown and I'm not sure that I can get an extractor to fit. Neat idea though and worthy of further investigation.

Michael

Thank you for your post – that is just what I was concerned about.

Regards

Norman

Hi, I see the issue nuber is back up into the top L/H corner of 212. I was not to bothered about it not being there, but now having compared it with 209, 210 and 211 I think it does make the magazine distinctive.

Regards Nick.
