He didn't need the practise, it just never occurred to him they would have it in stock.

I guess I'm not a casual user but I used to make stuff to a tenth of a thou when I had to, off a well set up Colchester.

There was a DSG 13X30 in ebay uk last week. Needs work but didn't get a single bid. I was thinking about getting a shipping quote It just hurts to see the prices they don't get for DSG's in the UK. Spoiled....

Anyway if your in SEQ my offer stands, happy to come and have a look. I've not set up a Hercus but I've used them plenty.
