I’ve been searching for 16 years for a metal shaper. They’ve either been too far away, too enormous, too abused, or too expensive. A few days ago I came across one 30 minutes from my house that is small, is in great condition, and was selling for far below market value.
This little guy is a Royal, made in Croydon England some 60 years ago.
Now I just need to somehow levitate 600 pounds of cast iron out of the back of a pickup truck down to ground level.

haha I'm not one of you engineering guys, but I couldn't help having a search for this & of course someone's got a page all about this model; and the original Realm factory building seems to still exist in Croydon (though it houses a goth/alt clothing company now)
