    Default Wadkin Double Mitre Fence Anybody?

    I spotted this on everyones favourite internet auction site.

    Wadkin | eBay

    The seller claims it to be Wadkin. I don't know Wadkins well enough to be sure, but the knob looks more like other UK brands to me (Robinson IIRC). It sure isn't off a Wadkin PK .

    Default Pikkies

    Yeah, not cheap .

    I thought maybe I'd better post the photos:

    Vann,

    Your right it's not Wadkin, it's from a Robinson ET/E. Not cheap, but I guess if you really wanted one, it's going to be hard to find one. I must admit, I had a split second that I thought is that from the Stenner (wishful thinking, but that price would have killed me).

    Thanks for sharing, the Robinson is very similar to the Stenner, so it has given me some more insight what the missing part to the Stenner quadrant was probably like.

    Cheers,

    Camo

    Lucky it's not Stenner then - at that price it would be a dilemma I'd rather not face (if it were me).

    I noticed that and clicked straight away it wasn't wadkin. Robinson handles are oval shaped. If it were off a pk I think it would have been snapped up pretty quick
