Hells Bells.
I have 2 brand new ones sitting in the box.
Better go out and move them to the safe.
Last time I looked you could still buy them NOS for about $ 250.
It was a toss up as to a new AA or an electronic ignition the prices being nearly the same.

Perhaps a money laundering scam?

There's some fool selling about three odd parts of an AA unit on ebay uk for £95! He keeps re-listing them over and over, they will never sell, - worth about £5 if you were desperate. You can buy a complete scrap one for 25 quid.
The last one I sold went for £75 and it was perfect.

At that price if we all put our spare parts together we would have enough $ to start up BSA again !! I think the buyer has overdosed on my pills, or tripping.
Cheers

...enough $ to start up BSA again Great idea, I'm in with two AAUs, a spare mag and a 650 alloy head if I can become the CTO of the engineering department. |

While you lot are being engineers and testers I will sit in the board room eating fine foods and drinking expensive wines and going for the occasional drive in my gold plated Daimler Pretty much what the board did when BSA were still going  |

Sorry Brian, will be a workers co-op. Don't want to go broke before we start. But I'd say you would have enough capital to be production super. Now who's got the hens teeth to be boss.
Cheers

Sounds good to me TOPDAD, I'll meet you at the pub down the corner.
Here's one for you muskrat, a pic taken outside the BSA factory. A pic of the BSA testers in the 50's. One of the fellows in the photo is alive and well and lives in Melbourne.

That would have to be up there Marcus.I think someone else here has one. Sort of remember it being spoken about one or two years back.

Regarding relaunching BSA, we'll need a Sunbeam dept. & I'll take Erling Poppe's job, of course.  |
