"Lusty" Metal
Here are some pics for you to vent your lust upon. This is a brand new unused 36 years old "SOBA" metal shaper. Purchased ex army and left in storage. Still has the original wax/grease on it but not for long. Weight is approx 1000 kg and stroke is 450mm. I am having a difficult time trying to source a manual for it, as I have not been able to work out who made it. It seems to have either Spanish or Portuguese writing on some of the plates, but no maker. Closest thing I have found to it is the Ajax AJS 450. Anyway please enjoy the pics. Regards to all.

Looking at your pics the brand may be SEBA not SOBA.
Hope this helps

Thanks Bob, I reckon you are right. I think I am a bit dyslexic at times. Regards Norm
