[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

No, haven’t got mine, yet, either.  Nor is it in the digital issues section, so I can’t see what bargains I’ve missed out on in the small ads. pages.

Hi There

I think the outgoing web ediitor posted it as he is on holiday this coming week.

It is out on Friday I think.

Model Engineer is probably not online as the girl who does it is on holiday.

Still waiting out here in the wilds of South London

[Peter G. ShawParticipant @peterg-shaw75338]

I ain’t not got mine either! And hey, if South London is the “wilds”, where does that leave me in West Cumbria? Up the creek and without a paddle?

Hi, I got mine this morning.

[wheeltapperParticipant @wheeltapper]

Hi

SNAP so did I.

Me too!

Great issue, just stuff up my street. I happen to be lucky enough to have an Aciera F3 with the original manual and test chart so the article on the referb was of direct interest. But why call it an Aciera 23? 2 isn’t even close to F on the keyboard.  The new owner was very unlucky to have had a previously greased machine. Aciera specifically state NOT to grease the 24 nipples but to use machine oil. Anyway it’s one of the finest mills available IMHO.

 

Enjoyed all the other articles especially Andrew’s importation story, very surprised at how low importation costs were. I have bought US machines via UK agents for double money before now, have learnt the lesson!

Regards,

Alan.

171 arrived in the wilds of South London today. Thats wild as in urban wasteland not open countryside.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

I think the original article said 23.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Got mine this morning up in Scotland.

Got to wintry Lincolnshire today! brrrrrrrrrr ! On the dorrmat when I came home from work

 

Just finished my first pass through from cover to cover. Looks good

 

Really looking forward to fully reading the Aceria refurb as I want to do my 1947 Barker lathe, about which there is very little original documentation and of which I have none!

Must remember to take loads of photos in its current sorry state before I start on it

 

Ads for the Ally Pally show which I probably won’t get to as a trip Darn Sarf costs a lot in car or on train from here. Harrogate seems so far a way boo hoo and I want some steel for all the stuff I want to make but am a tight Tyke and object to paying postage

 

Anyway – the mag and a whisky glass are calling me

[Gordon WParticipant @gordonw]

171 delivered by postie yesterday afternoon, just before road got closed, great job they do.

[Peter G. ShawParticipant @peterg-shaw75338]

Good morning,

 

No snow, very little ice, sun shining, posties been, but no magazine!

 

So where is it? I mean, I know West Cumbria is the back of beyond, but really it’s not that bad. No worse than Thurso or whereever anyway.

 

Regards,

 

Peter G. Shaw

Hi

Likewise in Leeds.

Is it the post or are the magazines sent out at different times?

A slight sprinkle of snow as I write, not sticking YET!

In Hampshire UK

Postman today Yes

Mag No

Snow No

Steam trains running by my window No (No services on Mid Hants in November)

 

So no distractions from work [which includes working with a team of Chinese engineers, but that is a whole other thread I am not going anywhere near    ].
