Don Quixote Posted January 26, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2022 It looks like one can no longer buy a serving machine from Dominoff. Does anyone know where to get one? Otherwise I'd like a recommendation on the best and most versatile machine available. Quote Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

Jim Rogers Posted January 26, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 26, 2022 Controlling the speed on the motor is problematic. Seems like two speeds, all ahead s l o w or Mach 1. Yes you can strope blocks but you need to make adapters. Not really designed for that but it can be done. Maybe Chuck has some suggestions. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Jim Rogers Damn the Torpedoes , Full speed ahead. Adm David Farragut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem with speed. I just crank it up and let it rip. For stroping I go manual. I have "most" of the machine, but I haven/t built a model in several years. I'm moving my shop from the garage to an empty bedroom in the house and can't find the power supply or the hooks and can only fing 1 alligator clip. Also I'm very familiar with it. I did just buy the one gidale suggested, but I'd sure love to have my old one. Even searched ebay.

gjdale Posted January 27, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 27, 2022 You are spelling his name incorrectly. Here is a link to a post he made just last Sunday, advising of an update to his online shop. I suggest you PM him with any specific questions about spare parts you are after. He is very good to deal with and will go out of his way to help. mtaylor and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quixote Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted January 27, 2022 Yeah, took me a while but I found him. I didn't realize how long I had his machine. I had version 2.5 and now he's at sm4-f. The older I get the faster time goes! In fact last year, I had a brand new granddaughter. Last month she bought her first house! When she turned 20 I don't know. EricWilliamMarshall, Katsumoto, Ryland Craze and 1 other 4 Quote Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

Bob Cleek Posted January 27, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I noted that Aleksei Domanov recently moved from Belarus to Poland. I don't know what his reasons for moving to Poland were, but it would appear to be a plus for modelers in Europe and the Americas. From our perspective, Poland is definitely the more favorable environment for an international mail-order business because Poland is part of the European Union and Belarus is not.
