$800
SHIPPING OFFERED
Brisbane's Q.L.D First VICTA DEALER MOWER SHOP WORK STATION...........
KEITH LARTER GAYTHORNE MOWER'S
If you love all things victa & history here is the holey grail.........!!!!! This once belonged to one of the Very first Victa Rotomo dealers.... Keith Larter Gaythorne Mower's was one of Brisbane's first mower shop loctaed an old 1920s building................ The building was knocked down.....This table was
still in the building before it was demolished......I was able to save this table from being scrapped.
I have a copy of a news paper page with a photo in 1978 for a 20th anniversary story about the mower shop's history showing Keith Later with his teenage children with the table in the back ground. That will go with the table...
If you want the ultimate VICTA ROTOMO SET UP then this table will look amazing with any of your favorite mowers sitting proudly on it...........
You will not find anything like this in 2024 and is a 1 OF 1..... I would consider this extremely historical in the Victa Mower world of collecting...........
The mower has provision to mount a FAN MOWER engine & Victa Rotomo 125 engine to table to run and test them.
It has a special gas tank set up to allow the gas tank to stand up while running the engines.....It can be taken off and the bracket folds to go back to using the table.
It also has a provision added later to the side that holds weed wackers by there shafts so you can work on it with out it moving around.......
The table has a drawer that works perfect and a storage under....... The storage under is recessed back some so when your standing working your shins dont bump the storage shelf under the table...........
RESTORATION PROCESS
The table was soda blasted......To a perfect clean finish
PAINT RESTORATION
1952 Victa Rotomo Billy Cart & Victa MK1 Fan Mower Green enamel was used.
FIRST ...I used HOUSE OF KOLOR Black etch..
SECOND ....Then i used HOUSE OF KOLOR PRIMER tinted with 1952 Victa Rotomo Billy Cart & MK1 Fan Mower Green enamel to get the light 1950s mint green........I then taped off the table and sprayed the lite mint green you see on the sides. And the wood shelving.
3RD....I Then sprayed the 1952 Victa Rotomo Billy Cart & MK1 Fan Mower Green in Du Pont Nason Enamel as this is the only Enamel available as Du Pont No longer exists but Australia is the only country getting old stock as it is banned in U.S.A as of 2015.
All of the wood was very soiled with oil and i had to make the tough choice to replace it ..
4TH ...The dresser draw is the original drawer to the table as i was able to clean it and save it...
5TH.....All of the brass screws were polished.
6th...The table retains its wonderful brass tags that have been polished and re in layed with vanilla enamel paint.
7th.... The gas tank was hot tanked and boiled out hand painted by myself with the " VICTA ROTOMO " With 1990s vintage gold enamel I use when i restore 1920's INDIAN MOTORCYCLE GAS TANKS AND PIN STRIPING.
The Cigar fuel tap was restored cleaned out with new O RINGS and polished.New green fuel line finishes it all off...
8th.... Vintage advertising was put back on the front of the table and glued on with starch glue made from starch just how they used to do it in the old days on wooden " MOON SHINE " crates.
I have enjoyed restoring this table and i chose to keep the cut marks and scratches on the table surface as i be leave that keeps the genuine character of the table showing its history. And that once long ago it was a work station that some one stood at for thousands of hours working on vintage mowers.
This 1 of 1 Historic piece of AUSTRALIAN VICTA MOWER HISTORY is ready to find its " FOREVER HOME " And truly belongs in a museum ..
It looks way better in person.......!!!
SHIPPING ..The table can be crated and shipped any were in Australia at the cost of the buyer...
If you wish to see EXTRA PHOTOS OF THE RESTO THERE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST and will be sold with all its photgraph's and documents.
