In the " one can never have too much fun " box ... I just scored TWO Bassett Lowke (?)-6-(?) clockwork mechanisms locally in Aus !!!
Now after years of seeing the occasional Bassett Lowke bodies for sale on ePay and me tapping my fingers thinking "OK When am I ever likely to find a mech for them ?" and letting them go ..watch the drought begin where nary a one is listed for the next 12 months !!!
Unsure of running condition however they were at least listed as " working " , whether that translates to working well could be another matter , but we shall see when they get here ... I think other collectors were a bit put off on the first one because it had the wheels removed , but from the photos it looks like all the goodies are there to put them back on .. the second one got a bit more auction love as it at least looked complete , but with both mechanisms coming to me for an average of $40AUD each (about 30USD/16GBP/25Euro ) I could not walk away ... thats probably less than the wheels value in reality
If nothing else they lend themselves to powering "Something" one day ?
Mech #1
Wheels and hardware for #1
And Mech #2
