Hi all,

owlsden, it's Phenolic board like on coil washers.

skinmech, thanks for making enquires for me, tryed the machine today and it works, not tested the foot switch.


i do have an update, the guy I bought it from has emailed some info over :-)

The machine was bought from new in 1975 ish from a mail order company (possibly in usa), the machine is in the style of a 1940's Davis tattoo supplies machine. So look like I've got a 70's reproduction of a 40's machine :-)

anybody know of supply company's in USA, in the 70's (mail order?)
