David, You can do a new drive system that will be more reliable for the Simplex, I am assuming you have this type of Simplex, as in the first drawing "Simplex". In recent years there has been a lot

The late-lamented Adrian Swain told me once that Roy sourced all his early gear sets through him and that they were a “bit rough”. Although I never quite finished constructing the bodywork of

Thinking about it a bit more, I think your kit which is in a video tape box is one of the later ones. The original batch were in smaller cardboard boxes. This means that yours should have the milled
