We have made an inspection of the Ziff Collection of Emett machines that will be appearing at the Birmingham Exhibition.
We have carried out a PAT test on each of the machines and inspected the wiring and they all appear to be in good condition. Not the result we were expecting, considering that the machines have been in storage for the last 25 years, but very encouraging.
It appears that the machines have been rewired at some stage and the only elements needing attention are three lamps that need replacing. Everything else appears to be in full working order.
There are, understandably, a few squeaks. We have identified the source of them and can generally be cured by a little lubrication though one of the cam wheels on the Fairway Birdie may need a little attention.
The thing that does strike home when carrying out an inspection of this nature is just how remarkable the machines are. They are mostly over forty years old and have primitive bearings but they just keep working.
