Mr H Krank of Pudsey just took time off from his busy schedule to send me an advisory email about the new LEM electromagnetic needle case cleaner. There is a short explanatory Youtube video that you can play and watch this remarkable device cleaning your crappy cases like new in twenty minutes or so. All you then have to do is the dry them out afterwards.

They are truly immaculate - shiny and positively gleaming.

There is one downside to all this efficiency.

The basic model costs £365.00. For the Donald Trumps among you, there is a super-spiffy 'de-luxe' model, just £395.00.

I can do many MANY thousands of cases in my old-fashioned tumbler/vibrator for that amount of electricity....in fact, I'm pretty certain that in the twenty or so years I've had it, it has yet to cost me the three hundred pounds difference between it and this new device.

Your mileage may differ, of course.
