I see. The pearl machine at the supplier's showroom, looked secure? Maybe Pearl/Janta has different product grades for their complete machine and then the spares. Got pictures of your modifications? £70 is like R1600, so if I buy the red Brenray for R1500 which is £65. So I am spending just get a machine £135 or R3100 to just get the machine w/o upgrading the wiring and changing out the electronics to modern ones, like a modern speed controller compared to the old rheostats typically in these machines. So lets say, I spend another R1500 to get like paint, the wiring and electronics. Mechenical department should have loose off cuts of aluminum rod that I could kindly request to be lathed into an extender to support the pearl baskets. So R4600/£200 or R5000/£220 max. So basically half price of a new machine. It's honestly really preferred to get a machine with the baskets. But with how rare they come by, I am not sure if this opportunity is worth taking? It's definitely going to be a long term project.

Hi , what is the watch Dee, a 2014 ladies watch is almost certainly going to be a quartz watch. The relation between that and what is known as a man's trench watch is worlds apart. Did you mean 1914 ? -

In the original post, it seems there aren't any screws under the bezel. -

I particularly liked that last sentence. In the link I just wouldn't do it 🙂 -

Those pearl baskets are bloody awful out of the box. i bought one six months ago to fit into my homemade machine. I spent well over an hour trying to fix the wobble between the basket and the holder, i got most of it out. The insert tray seperators are also not welded to the bottom so flat watch parts slide around into different sections of the tray and the top retention spring isn't great i also had to modify that to fit better. I paid about £70 , it wasn't exactly money wasted but i was disappointed with the quality but then they are a third of the price of Elma baskets so 🤷♂️
