If weight is NOT an issue, get an Andy Moss one £70 ish all in delivered all you will need is a charger. If I have the name right, he is Delia Smiths personal pilot as running an engineering business.

I currently use an Ultralight from UKShootwhorehouse which is good although I am a bit wary about some of the fine grubsrews used to hold various bits together. That said, it is much lighter than the Andy Moss one. I guess that if you look after the UKSW one they will both last a long time. The AM one is built like a Russian tank and will probably go on longer than a PW thread on hot-women-in-camo! good.gif.pagespeed.ce.PoYRIVsMjL.gif

I've had 2 of them for around 8 years now, still going strong with no issues

If your magnet came to a halt, it MAY be repairable. Cheaper than buying a new one.

Often it's water has got down the shaft and rusted it, causing it to bind.

If it's rust, just take the motor out, circlip off shaft, screws out of back plate, knock shaft and gear out, clean all, lots of grease on shaft, and reassemble.

If the motor has burned out, usually a motor from the scrappy will fit. Or be made to fit

It's the motor it went up in smoke burned out. I fancy a new one as I abused the hell out of the last one. It took some hundreds of hours on it so it came to know suprise when it blew. I aim to change the motor with a rear wiper motor to get me going for the weekend on bean stubble. Malk has got me wanting an Andy Moss magnet and at £70 or so it's a sound investment by all accounts. I can save this one for back up when I repair it.

Good idea. I repaired my big four arm one, and that's working sweet as a nut again (it had a rusted shaft after 4 years hard use)

Bought three others, two standard and a lightweight. The lightweight burnt out within 2 days of hard wind :(

The other two standard, one is fine, the other keeps breaking welds, so will have to repair that LOL

But, then I will have three, two of which have speed controllers for corvids, and one without for pigeons

Thanks for getting back I've managed to take mine apart and grease it up now so it's back up and running but I have bought flappers from AA and Andy is a good helpful bloke to deal with also I'm sure my magnet is from him anyway as I bought it from the west mids game fair a good few years ago ! Thanks again
