can anybody say which Maplins Transformer it is to power two of these lights

Terry

Just to say 'Stuart Turners ' have come back to me to say, that they are doing a cast crankshaft in the near future, but for now, just supply a steel stock to make one out of.

Thanks for the advice guys, have done a four part crank yesterday, and will silver solder it today, but I think a solid bar type one is best, so, I will let you know how I get on.

practice makes perfect, so they say,

Ian sorry to hear you had your S9 stolen. what next.

Can any body put me back on the right track, have bent and twisted the crankshaft on my no 9, had spent a long time turning the shafts down,, packing piece in place, all's well there, so set about making the throw pieces, spent a long time on these, set it all up in the lathe, checking all the time,, BUT,, IT ALL WENT WRONG, not sure why but I will not be singing up for the local cricket club as not good at catching the crank,, spun out of the lathe and now have a bent and twisted one,, so,

Anybody by chance have a spare under the bench,, long shot that. should I try and repair bent one, make a new one of mild steel as Stuarts sell them in mild steel now, should I make one of parts and silver solder it,,

Am very new to this but working at it, if any body near me to help steer me in this build would be nice, I am between Bromsgrove and Droitwich.

many thanks , and hoping can help me
