This is my Maruzen drilling machine. It's fully restored, all correctly, carburetor overhaul kit, new gear grease etc. After that I put it on the shelf. I like to look at it but that's all I do. Now I decided that if someone would offer an far better place for this machine it's better that way. Very rare, try to find one with google! (if you do find more, let me know!) There were 200 imported to Europe in '85 or '86. It runs fine, this was this weekend. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6m1l1wg8d26jedf/20170618_165723.mp4?dl=0 I would like to ask $200. I live in the Netherlands. What sending costs depends on the country, ask and I will try to answer. Sending to the US costs $60 so an total of $260 send. (signed for) Sending to the UK costs €25 (signed for) I have also a Drillgine that I was restoring. The engine and drill part is nice again, it needs painting and reasembling. Send me a PM when interested.

Hi all here is a couple of pictures of my new toy newly arrived very good running villiers mk10 just needs a colour change just fitted the correct on off switch on Saturday hope you like it

I can probably get some measurements and some pictures of the Octura mount I have, if no one has one for sale. They seems to be two versions of the Octura mount, mine is the standard cast alloy version, but I have also seen a version made from a section of extruded & machined aluminium. Here are a couple of pictures of one (not mine); David

It was the less common 350W version with the larger tank, one sold for a much more reasonable $250 in March, the more common model 300 Tiny Tiger are usually not too expensive. David

I've finally scanned the instruction manual for the Turbair Tot 2S and created a pdf of it. Turbair Tot 2S Instruction Manual.pdf There is more to follow when I've l got it scanned & edited. David

I've noticed that seller with the $500 Military Champ has been buying up & reselling O&R stuff, the Champ was bought two days earlier for $400, which is still $100 more than I've seen them sell for before. They also seem to be separating tanks & gearboxes from some engines and appear to have split up several Chicken Power kits. I've been wondering if O&R's have been featured on one of those shed/garage clearance type TV programmes (where they often make up daft estimated selling prices on stuff you know isn't worth that much) as prices have indeed been getting very high recently. Note that ebay is a bit dishonest with the prices that items with best offer sold for, they stopped showing the actual lower sold price a few years ago, but you can still find out the actual sold price by using the best offer history tool on goofbid, it only works with recently sold items though. I was also surprised that the 350W Tiny Tiger made nearly $600 as it failed to sell the previous time at an auction start price of $300 with $400 buy-it-now!!! David

Glad I bought most of mine before the explosion! Heck, one of those green Varo Amp Champs just sold for 500 and 350 w Tiny Tiger sold for nearly $600! The highest that I have ever seen!
