Re: How to contact Group Owner?
Before the Yahoo group shut down and before switching to groups.io, I downloaded all of the posts and pictures in case the group did not change over. But a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Do I still have it all, maybe?

Re: New video on Youtube, "Disassembling the Unimat DL mini lathe"
This will be fun to follow.
I'd recommend buying some soft metal drift rods and a socket set, and cleaning as much gunk from shafts before driving them thru a casting though. I was cringing when he mentioned "the ends of this shaft and mushroomed or burred making it difficult to drive it off " --- and then kept tapping!!

Juan - thanks for pointing this out... I think I may need the assembling the unimat instead!
That will be a good project for tonite... dis-assembling and re-assembling and doing some maintenance
with oil / grease...I will get my manual out...

Since I got that 7x lathe, I've also acquired a few others.

While you can use the same techniques on a bigger lathe, it's sometimes harder to do stuff on a small lathe. You have to take shallower cuts, and slower feeds, so things take more time. The bigger lathes will let you brute force it, where the smaller ones take finesse.?

Re: How to contact Group Owner?
I tried to download a backup of data, but I still don't think it has sent me a link and it has been more then 24 hours.? I have no idea what this backup looks like in terms of readable- by- human beings data.? I was running a backup of my stitching group, but one of my co-owners deleted my backup entity and I haven't restored it, but I had groups io delivering the messages to a back up email address, and I just kept them for archival purposes - I should restore that function. Does anyone want to volunteer to go through the photos and download to the cloud? What is Marcus' status?? Has anyone been in touch with him?? I don't remember who was the original owner(s) of the Yahoo Group, but I think only an owner could have transferred a group. xpylonracer@

Re: How to contact Group Owner?
Another hopeful new member has contacted me today, so I think that makes four who are being shut out, but they haven't given up. If it is a quick process, could they be "approved" while the owner problems get sorted?
I think we should have a solution to the problem soon, so can I urge them, and anyone else in the same frustrating position to hang on.
Yes, it does seem we need a number of owners to ensure continuity, and maybe a few spare moderators ready to step in and keep the numbers up.
Due to current health problems I cannot volunteer. Maybe in a while when treatment has finished.

Hi Fellow Members
I opened an iO Unimat Group as a free to use group with a storage limit of 1GB, to go to Premium costs $220 annually but offers up to 10GB data storage.
Even without announcing the group it has attracted 31 members at time of writing so now it is made known on this group we will see how much interest is created by any increase in numbers.
Because of the 1GB limit it is not possible to transfer all messages, photos and files to the new group without upgrading to the Premium account so it is not my intention to do so, or request iO make the transfer.
It will be possible to upload the Files section and selected photos, there are numerous pics of the same items included in the 1.73GB.
The 48,641 messages could be filtered to provide a number of files on different topics so providing a useful source of information.
The number of members listed for Yahoo Unimat Group doesn't take into account members where mail is bouncing or those who have lost interest, an invitation to join the new iO Unimat group will reflect the true number of members with current Unimat interest.
If you would like to join the iO group please follow the link below and use the +Join This Group button at the bottom of the page.?
?/g/Unimat (same link as in Carl's message #54374)
At present I am the sole owner/moderator for the group but it is my intention to appoint at least 1 further owner and up to 3 moderators to oversee the future running of the group if the plan is agreed by members.
If there is a strong demand to transfer all data by requesting iO to do a group transfer then it would simply need DB.SL added after Unimat to be an acceptable group name.
I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Maybe this would be helpful?? I signed up for the group in early 2021.?

When the group was under Yahoo and missed the deadline for the free changeover to groups.io, I offered to step into a co-owner/admin position and pay for the changeover entirely without asking for any re-imbursement, however my offer was rejected by default with no response. That is water under the bridge.

mine doesn't mean Martin feels the same way.?
