Evening all

Just wanted to let anyone who is looking for VC 160 or VC 160 parts that these came up on gumtree a little while ago.

At $35 each, might be useful to someone doing a restore

Regards
Tyler

Tyler, that looks a pretty good collection in good condition. I usually only look at full cranks so I can scavenge the motors, so my value is usually about the $10 bracket bur these with good looking catchers are pretty good value

Which state are they in?


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Hi MF and Norm,

Yes as Norm said they are in the state where no one wants to pay anything for anything.

Cheers,
BB.

Hi Norm,

My point exactly. The folk on the east coast are generally happy to pay sensible prices, it's just all the tight wads that seem to be here in Adelaide.

I was only this morning discussing this with a few people I met and they all seem to agree with this stance. It's SA the "Centrelink State" which should be displayed on our number plates as the slogan.

Cheers,
BB.......... from the Centrelink State

Yesterday is history
Tommorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That is why it is called the present.

They wouldn't pay half that here Norm so that just proves my point about this neck of the woods being overly tight and miserable. Just about everything I've sold I've had to package up and send towards Sydney / Queensland, and also Melbourne.

Cheers,
BB.
