Its OK Mark, if its raining next time you come up I can give you that leather/PVC jacket back, we got a new tarp for the roof so wont need your jacket anymore. I will admit to the arm getting remade at the suggestion of an old Fifer and will freely admit it looks better, then again with almost a century in the machining business its no surprise that I can learn a lot from you.
 Just for the record, heres the first arm and below the new version.

No.All running fine Robin.The absolute encoder I made is working a dream even although I had to rework the parts made on an old Bridgie with a Mach retro up in Arbroath. ;D
No I was thinking that if you were using it we could have a conversation,unlike when you are running your last star buy. ;D. Of course I`ll know when your running the Colchester as I can hear it down in Broxburn ;D.

Would you be able to bend that far over?Although I`ve just noticed you`ve got the shape right,is that a self portrait?

Hood asked "BTW what does that fridge magnet your wife has say again"

Do yo mean the one that says "beware of fat,bald headed men in plastic jackets" or do you mean the one that says "I married Mr Wonderful"?
