Thanks for posting Steve.

 

The price lists, along with other things, were posted on here not that long ago but the catalogue makes for interesting viewing indeed.

 

Are both catalogues in Italian or am I doing something wrong ?

[Pen Nut]

I feel things like this should be 'pinned' for future reference but not sure who has authority to sanction this.

 

P.S. If you get fed up of Steves Tardis spinning around simply hit the 'esc' and it stops ! :clap1:

Actually, I would be up for a "cleaning" up of the pinned topics instead of adding to them, combining some, especially putting all the vintage catalogues, price lists etc in one spot. Maybe call it, "Vintage MB catalogues and price lists.."

 

The Green Striped 146 reissue Pinned topic I believe should be gone...as far as I know that is DEAD in the water. Fred, if you read this, can you clarify.

 

I started the Barry Gabay article pinned thread....Eric Niksch who was hosting the article for download, has taken a sabbatical and his site is down. I've noticed some members have taken to emailing the PDF copy to each other. I will work on getting a new host for download.

 

Sorry to hijack the thread... :embarrassed_smile:

Hey Rick, I value the input so no need to say sorry. Maybe we could, or those capable of, condense the pinned articles in a folder with sub folders within?

 

What I do not wish to see is valued and very informative articles binned due to lack of space.

 

Maybe a hyperlink thingy to where pinned topics are maybe a way of shortening the pinned list index?

 

To much good stuff on here to lose.

When I posted way back when that we'd given up on the celluloid source, I asked the moderators to unpin that thread. The reply was that it would kept pinned.

 

On my laptop, I cannot see any active threads without scrolling down!
