Scan available
I've got a 280 VS exactly as shown in the brochure shown here, along with a poor photocopy of the brochure
Any chance of a scan (at reasonably high resolution) and putting it in the downloads section?
Also, is there a way of dating these machines from the serial number?
Cheers,
Andy

Theres no way I'll get the time to scan it in - just takes too long I'm afraid.
I normally set the camera up on a tripod and take Macro snapshots - they have been good enough to read electrical dwgs in the past.
About the serial numbers, I think there may be an old book somewhere with lots of drawing refs in it - possibly serial numbers as well
I'll see what I can do...

Not sure that is true for the manual machines - mine is s/no 27390, and I estimate it to be mid-80's.davidimurray wrote: He worked out the machines from the serial, from memory the last two digits (this may be wrong) was the year it was ordered. May be the same for your machine?????
I have seen another 280 with the manual vari-speed drive, and that was s/no 25832.
Cheers,
Andy

Dave - yes, I have helped Tony Griffiths with some of the content regarding Viceroys on his site, based on experience with my machine.
It could be very useful to us 280 owners!

Did this book ever show up?Denford Admin wrote:

Drawing Register
No these are not 'sketches' - this is THE drawing number register!
From what I can read in the photo, the same number series was used for all purposes - transit cases for exhibitions, illustrations for manuals, inspection certificate templates, as well as machine parts.
All drawings that I have seen for the 280 series machines have had a 'SK' prefix - whether mechanical or electrical.
One drawing I have is for the assembly of the manual 'synchro' speed control device, and all components shown have SK... part numbers.
Do any drawings from this era exist, or are they all lost / sold or destroyed?

You wouldn't seriously burn them would you? I am sure there are several good alternatives - even the County Record Office might give them a home.
If it's possible to separate them out then I'd take the Viceroy TDS3 material, digitise them and produce a reference manual. Just picked one up on eBay and keen to get whatever material on it that I can.
