Thanks v much. I guessed as much, but wanted to double check. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ps the round one isn't the correct rating - just using it as an example

The start cap on my million year old Wolf grinder just went pop (the big rectangular one). Aftera bit of googling, I can't see a like for like replacement. Question 1 - does this style of cap have a particular name? Question 2 - other than originality, any reason why I can't fit a...

Thanks all for the replies. Apologies for the slow acknowledgement. Lots to read and absorb!

Looks much smarter already! Keep the updates coming

Hi I am going to make new boxes for a pair of hifi speakers, to make them a little more interesting and in line with my decor (rather than their current faux black ash). My question is this - the woofer is normally (always?) at the bottom, with tweeter above. Is this simply because it's...

Thank you for sharing

That's a good shout. I'll tap you up for the dimensions if I can find a place nearby who can help. Thanks

Thanks for the replies, and the offers of pics. I think I have it together now. Will try to find a v pulley. Thanks again
