thanks guys, thats very useful. i never thought of adjusting the number of slats to alter the stiffness :idea:

hi dave thanks for the reply there's nothing on ebay or anywhere else on the net that i can find. but i have just found an old axminster catalogue from 1994 which has it in as a new model ''record CL5 12x15 lathe'' 1/3HP 3 speed £299.80 inc vat.

hi guys thanks for the replies,they more or less confirm what i thought about the accuracy. obviously i knew i was over weight but it wasn't until i used the wii that i realised that i was obese :oops: (don't like the sound of that word at all). so i used the wii as more of a motivational tool...

hi does anyone use the Wii fit to weigh themselves with? if you do how accurate do you find it? just after christmas i was quite distressed to realise that i was obese. i went on a quite severe, self designed diet which worked very well but i now find that i am struggling to loose any more...
