Tally Ho

[Fr J Hackett]

I fear Leo might be looking for a replacement capstan. The machining for the motorisation is going well but the casting of the top piece destroyed when dismantling, after numerous failures has gone very quiet. A complex casting which they are struggling to replicate.

Have they tried machining the piece instead ?

You need to look at just what they are trying to cast.

Could it not be fabricated

I hate it when that happens.

Well they got the pour OK waiting to see how it comes out when they break down the mould and then how it cleans up. Hopefully no inclusions this time, it's one hell of a job.

Wait till Leo posts a video about it. Somebody will offer to do a 3D printed part.
