Flatbed turntable thingy [Update - taken]

John Neighbourly Lead from Titahi Bay

This started life as the baseplate for an IBM 1621 paper tape reader for a 1960s IBM 1620 computer. The sprung buffer arms and rollers ensure the paper tape was under a constant gentle tension. I added the brass/aluminium platters to handle 16mm film and magnetic film, although I never finished the magnetic recorder I had in mind. The platters run on 1/2" shafts and good quality bearings. Perhaps it would be useful to someone, for something. Text me on 021-609-752

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
