Don't be tempted to buy a galvanized one from ebay

My first extractor was a four frame tangential from Thornes. I've just looked it up and I can't believe its £224 ! I bought one in their sale for half that price.
I bought a Giordan drill driven 8 frame radial, after recommendations on the forum, maybe five years ago.
The Giordan will spin 14x12 brood frames which is a great advantage.
I have kept the hand crank to deal with just the odd super.....I never even got the larger one out last year

REDWOOD is right.....don't get anything galvanised. Have a look at the usual suspects, they may be doing something at all the shows coming up....Beetradex would be my first port of call.

Can recommend that one, especially as it's the variant with the large square basket - much more capacity than they advertise.

Wait for the spring Association Auctions. Just be critical about what's on offer and set yourself a firm limit.

What does 'SHMBO' mean (precisely)?

She Who Must Be Obeyed - a favourite phrase of Rumpole of the Bailey when talking of his wife

Now come on, that's a stupid kind of question i would ask,

 

[Erichalfbee]

Millet, the clue to the question is in the second letter

Not quite Rumpole territory, perhaps?

I'm not sure if John Mortimer would have been impressed to see 'who' being spelled with an 'h' with the first letter. It can't be a typo because the letters w and h are too far apart on the keyboard.
