Model Mechanics

[David HaynesParticipant @davidhaynes53962]

It”s good to see that some archive magazines are now on the website. I see you have Model Mechanics, I was interested in finding Model Mechanics issues from 1954.  Is this the same magazine and where would I find these much older issues, the internet has not revealed anything to me of that vintage.

 

Thanks

Hi There

These are Model Mechanics from the 1980s.

I don’t have any from that dar back.

Not sure if they are our copyright either.

We do own the Model Maker series and I hope to put some of them up.

regards David

Hi David

 

I, for one, would be very happy to see some of the old Model Maker mags being made available on the site.  Many happy memories there!

Hi Dave
Is there a problem with the site accessing the back issues of Model Mechanics etc?
I’m struggling to find the site as all I get is ‘error not found’
I’m also looking for an article around december 1999 or 2000 on spark errosion. Two articles were published one for the basic machine and power supply. and the other on wire errosion using the same power pack. I foolishly loned the issue with the power pack details and it has never ben returned. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Keep up the good work you and the rest of the staff undertake. It is sad that creative people who write articles are critised for ‘apparent safety’ when most of the time common sense would indicate that skill and familiarity with your own workshop will dictate the way a job is best tackled. Those who are keen to critisise should show the correct method if one exists and explain in detail how some of the excelent models and process be performed in a hobby environment. Hope you have fully recovered and you are fit to produce lots of swarf.
Regards P Hodkinson
PS I have no desire to live in a risk averse environment.

The Model Mechanics seem to have disappeared.  Have they gone the way of many other useful things from the site?  Will we have to pay to access these as well in future?

 

Terry

[Flying FiferParticipant @flyingfifer]

Yup, they`ve definitely gone just like a lot of other things that were in the archive. Probably some copyright hiccup !!

[Flying FiferParticipant @flyingfifer]

Forgot to add that those blasted adverts on the RH side are overlapping the posts AGAIN. Pity they couldnt disappear instead of the really useful items.

On top of all that, I’ve suddenly lost my access to the digital issues.

 

Why do hell and hand-baskets keep coming to mind?

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Sometimes a post corrupts a page.

I have sorted this one.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Contact me direct if you have lost digital subscription access.

I will check it and if a problem forward to the relevant person.

Include your subscription number.

9 times out of 10 your subcription to ythe paper copy has lapsed which is why you can’t access the digital copy.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Sid, your paper subscription has run out.

You need to renew to gain access to current digital editions.

regards David

 

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Model Mechanics will go back up.

For some reason the original covers were put up in black and white.

I need to dig them out and replace with colour images.

regards David

 

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Eventually we hope to put a few of the earlier Model Mechanic up.

Note no s.

Some Model Mechanics can be accesed at the top of this thread.

 

regards David

All sorted now.

Model Mecanics was a grat mag, wish it was still available!

[Sub MandrelParticipant @submandrel]

Working for me now,

 

Thanks David,

P.S. In principle the Unimat head-raising technique should work on a mini-lathe – interesting thought…

 

major impact on my spelling though!

[japfanParticipant @japfan]

many thanks for the MM archive, I am missing the October and December issues from my bound copies, wonder what happened to THEM?- probaly lost in some move !

I really hope to build Sweet 16 one day soon, we'll see.

I have begun compiling a simple index, wonder if you might find that useful when it's more or less complete?

kind regards
