Viceroy Royal 250 Shaper

[speedy]

Has anyone have info or advice on the Viceroy Royal 250 shper? I am unfamiliar with these. I was thinking it might be a useful unit in the workshop as I cannot afford a mill at present. the shaper has a footprint of 460mm x 800mm and will nott take up much floorspace. Thanks.
here is the url

I know mine is called a "Royal" shaper .....and thats all the info I have on it .
I know 2 or three guys with this exact shaper....but no-one has the manual for it
if you have one ....it would be most appreciated by all if you did a scan of it.

The best example of this shaper I've seen is here..

PS IF YOU WONT SOME LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT IT'S WORTH LOOKING AT "WORKSHOP CONSTRUCTION"

Day seven is rather interesting where he attempts to bury a really nice mini digger

I find it very hard to believe
that he is building a workshop.
no matter how many times I look at it , and the way it's being done, just puzzels the hell out of me.
It should be titled "How not to construct a workshop"
Or perhaps he's making a gouverment training video for the building industry...showing us how many things can go wrong.

If you go through the pictures backwards, it looks like they dug up a small backhoe.

Was that a BBC TV series? Can`t wait for the re-runs;
"quick Lin, get the video ready, I want to record this".
"why dear?"
"Darling, I`m going to build myself a workshop just like that beauty and surround my Viceroy with assorted cr*p"

Hey you all, I need some real info urgently on the shaper thanks . The unit I am looking at tomorrow is very similar to the one in test-net; it does not have the round ram but a square type. It has been suggested it might be an Alba. Any help coming?

On second thought, I`ll post a new thread.
