Medieval Madness Shop Log

[Steve]

Thought I may as well start a log of the MM build-up I'm planning. it could go 2 ways - either I can create a 'new' MM from the collection of NOS parts I've got + my donor Congo, or use my already nice MM as a base to do a complete rebuild. I'm not holding out too much hope with option 1, as there are just too many parts that will be hard to to source/manufacture/re-create.

I Just got back from Florida this morning with some of the hardest parts to source, a complete set of NOS, still-in-the-Williams-packaging wire ramps. Can't believe my luck getting these as the US restorers are saying they are no longer available, even used parts. I also managed to get a full set of NOS plastics as well as several assemblies.

More bits, mostly from Wayne:

One part I am struggling with is a new apron? I've bought one of the custom aprons from Germany, and they look great but not sure if it will be used.

As well as complete wiring looms I have bought tons of colour-correct wiring to make up what I can't buy:
