    Default "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.

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