Keith_W Posted October 6, 2023 #4 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I can sell you mine, I don't use it very much. I am in Australia though, and the power plug has been modified for an Australian power socket. It is 240V. Inbox me if you are interested. I suspect shipping will be VERY expensive, given that I don't have the box for it and even internal postage within Australia for something as heavy as this costs a lot of money!

ASAT Posted October 6, 2023 #6 Posted October 6, 2023 Jim said he would be closed till mid September for a vacation/shop inventory and business or something…. Should be open now, I ordered a few saw blades from them Wednesday and received order confirmation the same day…. Don’t know if that was computer generated- have not received a Shipped notification yet though so IDK…. But the notice on the website says they were planning on re opening mid September. mtaylor and Bob Cleek 2 Lou, In Pleasant View Harvey by ASAT- AL Scale 1:50 - Kitbash Fair American by ASAT - LSS Craftsman Plus https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23121-revenge-1577-by-asat-amati-164/
Bob Cleek Posted October 7, 2023 #7 Posted October 7, 2023 9 hours ago, ASAT said: But the notice on the website says they were planning on re opening mid September. Thanks for the news. Someone posted elsewhere that they couldn't raise Byrnes by phone or email and they had earlier announced they'd be taking orders again beginning in mid-August, I believe, then later changed that to mid-September. I was starting to worry, hoping all was well with them. They are such nice people. Sometimes we don't appreciate those who provide valuable resources until they're gone and no replacement exists thereafter. While Byrnes Model Machines occupy a rather small niche in the market, they really are a "national treasure." Rustyj, Boccherini, Roger Pellett and 2 others 5

Thank you, Nick Current post on the Model Machines website: We are in the process of personal and corporate recovery after the loss of Jim ... We will not be accepting orders for machines until further notice, but you may still order accessories. We need to complete an inventory and business reorganization, which we hope to accomplish in the next few weeks. Thank you for your understanding and continued support ... Donna Byrnes Word on the MSW forum also reported a conversation with Donna Byrnes confirming they would be back to filling orders shortly. Keep an eye on their website for a formal announcement.
