Domanoff Rope Serving Machine


Recommended Posts

I have been trying to contact Alexey for several days about purchasing his Rope Serving Machine. After opening the home page on his website and going to the relevant page for this machine I have tried sending an enquiry via the tab where the price is listed and also tried sending an email via his contact panel. I have done this a number of times over several days and have not received a response. Can anybody enlighten me as to if there is some other method I am not aware of or has he fallen off the planet. Any help would be appreciated.

Gary,

 

Don't forget that it's August and the European countries typically shut right down during this time of year for about three weeks.  He may be away on vacation right now and unable to check on orders, etc.

Opps... Sorry, I missed this post

 

The problem was with our site (you couldn't use some symbols in both address and name fields), now we fixed it. Thank you for your help to solve this.

 

Your parcel is shipped out from our country on 3.09 and maybe still on the way as I can't obtain any data from Australian post. Sometimes it takes 7-10days, sometimes 30... Post is unpredictable...

 

Have you received PSU?

 

BR,

Alexey

That sounds interesting Alexy. When do you expect to bring them to market?

Well if a Talosian thinks it's a good product, I had to order one myself. We'll see if the U.S. post is any better than Australia’s.

Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

 

 

In Dry Dock:

Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack. 1:24 scale. Model Shipways, 3rd in the learning series.

Not sure what'll be next, probably the Santa Maria by Artesania Latina 1:65 scale. Unless someone has a better suggestion for a beginner.

Pride of Baltimore. Model Shipways. Clipper used in the war of 1812.

Black Falcon. Mantua Model. 18 century corsair brig.

CSS. Alabama. E. Manolie? Can't read the font. Build in Liverpool in 1862 for use in the American Civil War by the Confederates. Steam and sail, sloop of war.

 

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Mine arrived about 3 weeks after I put in the order. I got the serving machine 2.5. The power supply is shipped separately from China because Australia uses a different (240 volt) system.

 

I found that the machine worked much better after I lubricated all the shafts (where they go through the `posts') with fishing reel grease. This grease is designed to use with small gears and worked particularly well when I engaged the power option which would not turn very well on the very lowest settings before greasing.

 

I also made an addition/modification to the machine by adding another shaft to hold my seizing cotton rather than having it sitting loose in front of the machine. There was just enough room on the `feet' of the `posts' to add a couple of right angled brackets that I cut and folded from some scrap perspex. I used the same diameter threaded rod as was used in the other shafts on the machine.

Thank you very much for you valued report and idea!!!

 

"The power supply is shipped separately from China because Australia uses a different (240 volt) system."

 

The reason is another type of socket. We (EU) use the same 220-240V but different socket. So I offer drop shipment for any PSU different from EU.

No problem Alexey, I think that this machine is well worth the money. The fact that I could pay via payal and shipping was included was great ( postage/shipping can be a BIG issue 'Down Under') I thought the postage was very quick and I also liked the fact that you sent an email with a photo of the package attached when you dispatched it. I get a lot of stuff via mail and this is the first time I have seen it done.
