The number on the plate should point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 not many of them service people around anymore ,as said depending on age of machine parts may be hard to come by and any parts that are aint cheap .the one i have is about 72 years old but been maintained by the same lad for the last 30 years ,he is retired now but often calls in for a chat and has a quick look at the machine while he is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are located anywhere near to me I would be happy to come out and take a look at this machine for you. Somewhere I have a manual for a 29K, I'll have a look for it.
