hammer mill info needed
hi all.im new to this forum(first day!) ive recently purchased an old and rusty hammer mill but dont know who made it. the hopper says "the lightning hammer mill" on it but it took some gentle wire wooling to find it.there are some other remains of lettering but too far gone to get anything from it. im trying to find out who made it so i can restore it and paint it to orignal. if any one knows anything about this please please let me know.ive trudged through google but cant find anything (theres a company called lightning crushers but its not them) hope you can help guys.

It would be a shame to loss the writing, if you take a pic to a grafix shop they might be able to replicate it. I try some WD40 as kev says or some thin oil see if you can find some more details. Some of these type of machines were just knocked together by the local blacksmith but this looks mass produced with it having the name on it.
Good luck in the search,

the plan was to blast and paint the mill but leave the writing on the hopper and laquer it.the writings properly sign writtten which seems to be a dieing trade these days.ive got a big tin of ub40 so ill try it next time its playtime.cheers guys.

Re: hammer mill info needed
there is no "S" there, just an "L" I am sure it says "The Lightning Hammer Mill", still gives no usable results on the net though

Stu, are you looking on a phone or on the computer?stationary stu wrote:Dave have you moved your pics about because I can no longer see them.

The only reason I ask is because I can't see Nutgone's latest pictures when I look at the forum on my phone but this has only happened in the last few days. I can see the pictures on this thread right now, but I'm on the computer at the moment.
