I havent tried it to be honest, it'll be a good weight and I could do with something that closes right up like yours.take it the selector isn't up to what you're doing @Richard Hunton

unlikely that you'd have enough travel and would probably be a difficult proposition as it was built as purely a selector ... can't recall the breedHad wondered if the shells could be changed
AE IIRC .. and was a LUMP ... any idea what happened to the rotator off it?

Im not sure to be honest, I need to go and have a look in daylight and see what the plate says, I know its a big old lump, I think a new purpose made grab would be the way to go, to lower the weight and maximise the lift capacityyours is bigger than that isn't it Richard?

No idea what happened to the rotator, I can only assume it was redundant as it was always going to be used under the tiltyunlikely that you'd have enough travel and would probably be a difficult proposition as it was built as purely a selector ... can't recall the breed

To be fair, us Intermecatto boys are giving them some pretty constant usage.
Not just taking them out of the shed for another coat of gold paint

Had a conversation with the seller last night about something else he has listed .... came across as a decent, very affable chap and certainly open to negotiation IMHDO ... his 'mainline' is shipping containers, by the seem of itLooks like it would do the job, but at that money its not a million miles away from new money......
