Twas I what wrote as 'Aviemoron'. I should add that YahooGroups has a
trio as Quorn_owners which is not confined to those who have more
balls than most.
Whilst I have a Quorn, I also have a Clarkson minus pedestal to
squeeze in to my small workshop- and really the Quorn is redundant.
Sometime back I wrote and reflected that a Clarkson can be up and
running for less than the price of the imported contraption and the
cost of the castings of such as the Quorn, Kennet and Stent. It is a
subject which is really too big to write a 3 line answer!
Twould fit nicely in my shop...! Watts the bargain?

Dirk,
I suppose that paying =A3100 for a Clarkson MK1 wasn't too bad.
Recent UK E-Bygums, have had much the same and the odd Stent and more
recently part machined Stent castings. Now a Stent with a Quorn tool
holder and a Quorn spindle with a varied set of pulleys and table
stops is a nicer toy.
Quite a few have heeded my advice. It's even nicer to get a 'Thanks,
mate'
My mate has one of these 'hybrids' Borrowed it at one point. Was
overcome with my emulsions- having to hand it back.

Seems to have been moved, couldn't find it. Try giving us the actual
page reference.
Some nice stuff on there but .... OMG, the WORST collection of
greengrocers' apostrophes I have seen in a long time - even worse than
recent editions of MEW. (Not even consistent though.)
When will people realise that **plurals do not take apostrophes**. It's
worse than scraping fingers down a blackboard.
