- 3 models from Set 9 1970-1977. Meccanograph (9.2), Bulldozer (9.4), Travelling gantry crane (9.15). 1974 price £31.65. There is a separate video of the Meccanograph in operation. Mistake! The crane has no string steps.
Man, I love meccano!
Had all kinds of sets when i was a kid and still have them.
My nephews loved building stuff with them when they were kids too!
The turntable's the best thing!😁😁😁
Thanks for posting this Brian. Great introduction into what's possible with the no. 9 set. Sent a link to a friend who's interested in getting into the hobby.
I do, and a lot more. At the SELMEC exhibition recently I had two set 10 models constructed at the same time, the gantry crane and lifting shovel. In 2007 I only had something a bit past a set 9. Some of the SELMEC members must have several set 10 sets given the size of their models.
@newspaniard The set 8 models turntable I made had to be totally rebuilt for this, my first use of large toothed quadrants, excellent. I had trouble with some of the replica parts. The double angle strips are slightly too long and I had to replace them with normal strips and angle brackets.
At last I have a Meccano sets playlist complete, though I will add two more set 10 models and some 4EL models. Some 1978 models should also show soon.
your vids are always interesting ...tnx for posting...i cant get meccano parts in usa...aaarrrgghhh
@ MECCNUTTY, so you actually do have a set 10? or not? I noticed that you have videos all the way up to a set 9 and quite an extensive inventory of parts.
@laphant1 I know you would have to buy parts from abroad. However can you get the current sets there?
I wonder how many Set 9s were sold? I can't help but think that if Set 9 was within your budget, you'd be able to afford Set 10 so you may as well get that.
Set 10 cost 5 times more than set 9. By today's standards set 10 was about £1500.
@@MECCNUTTY Really? I had no idea it was such a big leap.
I cannot respond to your personal messages. You have contact lock switched on.
I dont know what you mean by the current sets. Over here in the States, it is called Erector and is completely different from the Erector of the 1950's-1960's. Modern "Erector" sets were at one time available here. However they were rather boring looking and soon the sets disappeared from the store shelves. Also Lego and K'Nex have a much larger fan-base around here. As for myself, I have grown to love Meccano and build all the time. Most of my acquisitions are from E-bay, which is expensive.
Where can I buy ?
This was last sold in 1979. They are available on Ebay. You are talking between £500-£700 for this. You can also get it from www.meccanoman.co.uk for £400. This is a respectable seller.
