Cliff Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Just received my new pages and my mind boggles at the work it must have entailed. Congratulations on a job well done Michael. 3 Quote
secret santa Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 So annoying that neither Michael or I noticed that he'd included the wrong "zoom" of BP1890JB - I was so intent on checking the text throughout that an incorrect photo slipped the net ! It's so blindingly obvious once pointed out. Quote
Cliff Posted October 2, 2020 Author Posted October 2, 2020 Sorry Richard, think I'm missing something here. BP1890JB??? Please put me out of my misery! Quote

secret santa Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Just heard from Michael that he'd sent 2 update packs to Gary Schindler in the States but when they arrived with Gary, the packet had been broken open and packets of sweets substituted for the updates ! Can you imagine the mentality of the person did that ? Michael is understandably distraught and this is yet another unfortunate experience that he's had sending things to the US. He has vowed never to ship to the US again and who can blame him ? Edited October 9, 2020 by secret santa security 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 That is 'Bizarre Happening of the Week' What a head scratcher....looks like it happened in France or Quebec... My update pack felt like some paper in a pile - what would that 'feel' make someone think that it was valuable? 1 Quote
Sleepy Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I suspect there is some child somewhere that is going to be very disappointed, unless off course he/she is a coin collector. 3 Quote
hazelman Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Had not realised that an update pack was available. Have just sent Michael an email to enquire costs, etc. Always worth checking into predecimal. Thanks Quote

Bronze & Copper Collector Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Does anyone know the size binder that is used for the guidebook??? I want to put the old pages in a separate binder for reference as it is too tight to have them in the back of the original.. Thanks 1 Quote

I might have to take a page in to a store and match it up properly... Quote

Thanks I've also tried to obtain but the various ones I saw, whilst the spaces between the six individual rings were correct, the spacing between the two sets of three rings did not match what was needed. I tried ENSONS (manufactured the springs for Michael Gouby's binder) but no go. I contacted M.G. to see if he had any spare binders or could direct me to where I could purchase one but, again, no go. M.G. informed me that he had tried to obtain some "spares" but his printer informed him they were no longer in production, although he'd found one box of 300 ring springs in Italy that could be bought for £1000. Transpires this six ring spacing was the one used by File-O-Fax but went out of production 10 years ago. Would be interested to learn if anyone does manage to obtain any! 1 1 Quote

I suppose you could either buy a six hole punch and re-punch holes in the bottom or top half of the page, to fit. Or alternatively use some treasury tags to link the pages together, and place in a plastic wallet - something like that, possibly. It is annoying that the old size is no longer available. I just assumed it would be one standard size. 1 Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I might have found a workaround solution... I ordered this from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07VDX2TVH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4QALFbSH0V9A8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 it's a 3 ring grouping, supposedly with the proper spacing for the 2 individual 3 ring sections of an a5 binder. If 2 if these are used separately, you can make your own binder with the proper spacing between the 2 sections. Just make a front and back cover to protect the saved pages.. I'll let you know how it works out when I receive the shipment from Amazon.. Edited October 25, 2020 by Bronze & Copper Collector 2 Quote

1949threepence Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Managed to nab a spare A5 folder at work this morning. Found out that just one more hole needs to be punched and the pages fit perfectly. Of course that doesn't mean they are centrally positioned in the folder, but the top of the page is about 1mm from the edge, so is not visible or "sticking out" when the folder is shut. It's OK for me anyway, although it may not be ideal for all. Edited October 26, 2020 by 1949threepence pic uploading issues 1 Quote
hazelman Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Will anyone who finds any with the correct hole spacings please inform us all. Ive also tried and failed. Quote
