rewound many magnetos and someone who hasn't. I know where my money is :-)

Nick,

I will plug Martin also for no other reason he is a friend :-))
I can get the forum on my PDA but I just type in Stationary engine forum on 
Google using my PDA/ mobile phone.

Perhaps My Dell Axim is knocking on a bit or I have something set up 
wrongly, but when it eventually loaded I just got random chunks of text 
spread around the screen! Is there a condensed 'mobile' version as there 
is with hotmail etc?

NHH

Not as far as I am aware, IF took some getting use to as it is in one long 
line and it took a while to find my way around but otherwise no.

Having paid a fiver for my first engine and 20 quid for the second, it seems 
likely that everything I buy will cost more than the engines!
We all have differing skills and talents, thus some will be able to save 
money in areas which others cannot and vice versa. Which is why some of us 
have friends who all pool their skills for the common good.

Why not give the whole story and not just your view?

You are excellent at picking out bits for your own arguments and
'entertainment', but not so good at giving all the details so that others can
decide for themselves.

Also interesting that this is on that same Forum that you have made such a fuss
about in the last 24 hours. You seem to enjoy running others down rather a lot,
Roland, constructive criticism is one thing, taking the p*ss for your own
amusement is another.

I have never claimed to be an expert at magneto rewinding, but the attributes
required were not as stated by the other person involved.

For those who want to see the whole thread:

Let those who want read it and reach their own conclusion. When I posted 
last night that thread contained several gross inaccuracies, uncorrected by 
pontification.
Rather than taking anything I was merely providing a counter-blast to 
near-meaningless statistics used to blow a trumpet.
The stats advance your own selective view though naturally your view 
differs.
On the subject of selectivity why do you always point folk at your own 
outline dating pages and never to the more detailed resources noted within 
SEM. Do you feel yourself to be in competition?

What's with all this ''in another place?'' You sound like those buffoons in 
parliament talking about the other house or maybe is it some sort of masonic 
lodge?

I thought SE men didn't do bsollocks?

Oh you poor naive child. There’s as much b****ks  amongst them as
anywhere. Apart from me that is.
Just start a thread about paint to see what I mean. :-)

But yet you where confident enough to estimate a coil rewound being
achived in 15 minutes  with clearly no understanding of the standard
construction procedure  of A ht magneto coil ,

Sometimes Peter it may be better that you just say you dont know than
argue the toss for the sake of it.

It's apparent that some do it upside-down ;-)

My money magneto-wise is usually with Martin Percy and yes, I have 
bought an engine and then spent the same on a mag rebuild!

BTW is this 'other place' *the* stationary engine forum referred to in 
an earlier thread? Unfortunately the link posted by Peter doesn't seem 
to resolve well on PDA - no trouble with usenet though!
