Toggle PIF

[Mark1966]

Was a winner picked? OOhhhhh waiting on pins and needles

See my post yesterday:

It seems that interest has died down and we have flushed out all the likely repairers.

Lets say that this will close at 6pm local time in Canberra. You can check out the local time in Canberra here.

I'll do the draw thereafter and contact the winner.

We haven't closed yet

I'm still in, nothing changed. I'll tame this wild turkey !

I have plenty of Toggles at my undisclosed location. I have 2 Standard F-4s, 2 Chrome F-4s and even 2 Serial Number Toggles. My interest in this PIF is solely for the challenge, to try to breath life back into this frozen beauty. So whether I am successful or not I will PIF this razor to someone here on B&B.

I would surely break it. With that said, if Copierguy wins and is successful, I'll take it off his hands...

By the way, what an amazing PIF, Mark.

 

[Mark1966]

One last reminder - if you are interested there is about 15 minutes to go! (You can check out the local time in Canberra here)

Family commitments may intervene for a period but I will be back later to do the draw and we can go from there.

 

[TheHammer]

Let me at it! Ive been lusting after one of these for quite some time now...Ive gotten a few other razors unstuck before, so maybe I can crack this one?

Just a reminder of the rules and the aim:

1. You pay postage from Australia to you. I will confirm the amount at the conclusion of the PIF with the winner. If they want to back out that will be fine - we will draw again.
2. You will use your best efforts to try and fix the adjustment and create a thread for the process with pics. I don't care whether you soak, ultrasonic for weeks or disassemble but you must take before, during and after photos and post in a thread here so we can all watch and learn. Videos would be nice but not required.
3. If you try don't want to continue to try and fix the Toggle you will create another PIF for another member to have a go knowing what you have done. So, say, you want to try your uber wonderful penetrating oil and it doesn't work and you are not willing to disassemble then PIF it on! The aim is to get this baby fixed or die trying!
4. If you get it working it is obviously your to keep or do whatever you want with

The winner is ...




Well I have to confirm that they will accept the conditions and pay the postage. I have sent them a PM. If you didn't get one you are not the winner - sorry.

If they decline I'll be in touch with a second chance. If they accept I'll post details here and we can all watch the progress.

Thanks to ALL for your willingness to try and rescue this beauty.

 

[AceByTerror]

Sigh. No PM.

A big congrats to our winner! - good luck with the cleaning - I'm looking forward to seeing the process you choose and watching her come back to life!

Thanks for the chance to play! Awesome PIF!

Cheers,

Rob

Dang, my PM must be broke..HA! Anyway, this was a great gesture Mark so hopefully it can be saved. Good luck on the restore whoever the winner is.

 

[Copierguy]

Could the Mods please check my inbox.....must be broken....I did not get Marks winning congrats.

 

[brucered]

it wasn't me....

thanks for the chance Mark and I hope the winner is successful in restoring it and getting it to work.

 

[Mark1966]

The winner is - Maxime D.

Congrats mate - let's hope we can get this baby all fixed.

BTW - the gold plating hasn't been affected by sitting in penetrating oil for about six weeks - see the initial pics. So we are already learning from this little lady.

 

[Dalejr]

Congrats to Maxime, goodluck. If you get it working, you won't be disappointed in how it shaves.

 

[Maxime D.]

I actually never shaved with an adjustable, using a Toggle as first would be ballin

Thanks to Mark who give me the opportinity to fix it. I'll try everything at my disposal and If I fail this holy quest, I'll PIF the daisy to someone else.

PS: Now I can't complain anymore about never winning a PIF lol and what a PIF !

 

[joglander]

Good luck. Don't forget to post lots of pics.

 

[InfernoOrangeSS]

Congrats to Maxime, an all around great member on here that I have had dealings with! Please post lots of pics of the restoration of this great razor back to working condition! It's so good to think this piece of Gillette and DE shaving will again be back to working order.
Keep us updated!

 

[TheHammer]

Congrats Maxime! This being your first adjustable, I'm sure you'll love it. I've fallen in love with my rhodium fatboy, and the SWMBO uses a slim (soon to be rhodium as well). Both excellent razors

 

[Copierguy]

Congrats Maxime!! May the lack of force be with you......

 

[John_Roger]

This has my name written all over it! Please consider me, I have a drawer full of adjustable parts
