Should i try and buy it, lol Depends on how much he wants for it. If it comes down to it, you could always put a new motor in it if you needed to.

It's mickys version of the Spaulding revolution.. You cut needle bars and Allen key them tight.. The first real mainstream version of a linear rotary.. Ill Be honest that's a gem right their.. Talk about the first men copied..

Hey I mentioned these to Tony Lynx and he says in fact he made them. Apparently the engraved ones are super rare and only 80 were made. Just thought I would add that in there.

Im definitely going to buy it then!

I swear somewhere in my house there is the frame (front plate only) for one of these, engraved. Purchased off of ebay probably about 4 years ago and it came from the UK. I think it was cash collins or something like that. I am sure I will find it when I move.

Apart from the engraving it looks very similar to an Eddie Fretwell rotary (Panther Products), the motor is covered in 'Prismatic Vinyl'. On occasion you would get a machine that had a Swiss Beuhler motor, they were the canines testicles.

Tony sells on ebay pretty frequently and I've yet to see any rotary bits so that would be a cool piece to grab.

I saw a machine like this being used by a british guy who moved to open a shop in cape town, his name is big mick, all he could tell me was that he got it from his mentor, i have since forgotten the mentor's'name and i would love some info on this as i'd'like to build a similar machine just to see whether i could and how it'd'work
