Hello,

For those who don't know me, I am a working locksmith, and a year or two ago, I had a big break in, and a lot of my kit got lifted. I got pain out for about 75% of my total claim, but one thing I couldn't repurchase was my manual tubular key machine. I had an A1 Herty Gerty, and I am now looking to buy a replacement Herty Gerty, or an HPC TKM-90, or "Pocket Cut Up". Please DM me if you have one you'd be willing to part with.

If you have a motorised key machine capable of origination you'd like to sell, I am also interested, but they have been cost prohibitive in the past, as I'm a one person shop!

I am also looking for Ilco Exacta Punch knobs and spacers, if anyone has them around. Anything manual I now have some money to throw at, too.

Thanks so much for looking!

I have one of the $70 HPC TMK90 knockoff's from China, with practice you can cut a good looking key in under 2min with it.

Right, and I appreciate the tip, I have had one of those, and they just aren't consistent enough for me to have it as my main machine for the purpose.
