INVESTIGATOR 563

Keeping on the theme I have a multi-use collapsible table which I love. Tried many over the years and this one won. I found anything that is complicated we don’t use. Fits every part of the Investigator. Unfortunately no make but fleabay would have them.

Let me know of the details of the galvanizing process on your board' and re-fitting method of b...

Good detailed photos Peter. Keep them coming. It’s a job I’ve been dreading. could be a job for lockdown take my mind off this chaos going around.
