Well I fetched it on Wednesday, yes it ****** down all day which was nice, got home ok and unloaded It.I bought a cnc mill from an auction , I'll let you know how stupid I am in further posts/threads

Then I got it inside and put some power to it , it booted up fine but couldn't get anything to work so went to bed
Next day with a fresh head I found a dicky limit switch which sorted the spindle and a wire off the e stop circuit which powered up the servo drivers.
So all in all I'm made up with it

Sadly yes it's shot up here. Also the abattoir in the village closed years ago, the one I was using in Heathfield (12 miles away) no longer does pigs and I have to go to Henfield (44 miles)which costs more in fuel and is bad for the livestock in that they can get stressed.

Yes please (pics please)...I used to built them as a kid in the 80s. I was actually looking at vintage (ie ones I had as a kid!) balsa kits...I think the radio side regs have changed but I'm not up to date. New radio kits are cheap as chips vs what they used to cost back in the day!

I wouldn't want to buy a brand-new norbar, that's bloody deep pockets territory
At those prices it better be hand delivered by the pope...

Same as that, our nearest is 35miles away but its a small place, family run firm and everything is carried out as nice as it can be

Today we drove home a 1956 moggy minor,
40,000 miles original paint and garaged all its life, needs a polish but should be good for using fairly quick.

There’s an abattoir in Henfield? My dad farmed there until recently (he’s 85 so thought it was time to pack it in) but always took his livestock to Heathfield.

Thanks for that, I've been looking for something similar. I bought a lighter socket adapter last year and modified it to run a flying lead for connection to the loom, but these look a better solution. And they don't have a red LED indicator, like my current one has. I don't like red lights flickering in and out of view as I turn the steering, but can't be bothered stripping it down and changing the LED.
