.... that doesn't help me though does it!!!!
i've made a few observations and logical guesses but neither have helped me do anything with it. plus i don't know what "Classic Strijbos" is, but i have a feeling its similar to the First Box and the Washer Cylinder .....

This sounds like a good review. Looking forward to it. Is it as evil as the First Box?allardwza wrote:Finally solved Lotus this evening (after having merely opened and closed it, fully, a few times, up to now...)
Classic Strijbos ... And evil!

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
I have a washer cylinder that is completely locked up.
Would anyone be willing to work on it that knows how
to open it. When a friend locked it up, I used a couple
channel locks to free it up and made it worse. I know
"no brain, no pain". Maybe it is beyond selvage, how-
ever it's no good to me this way. Thanks in advance.
If you are willing to give it a shot, send my your mailing
address please. I don't really want to bother Willie S.

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
I'm looking forward to Lotus, I did manage to snag one from Wil even though my email was delayed. Anyone here on the forums do me a big favor the next time he sends one out and PM me so I can validate I get it? =D
Also, Waddler cmon pick up that First Box and open it! The face wants out!
My First Box had a chipped corner when I opened the shipping box =(

...pretty similar in terms of difficulty in my books... although with this one you can open and close it multiple times and still not know how the heck it works... so maybe Lotus is a bit harder... ?

You'll most likely find it's mullered
My first one died after a bit of swarf jammed the mechanism
If it's stiff to the point of no rotation then it's dead I'm afraid
Took the black pin out of my Lotus last night, it's such a beautiful item
I almost wish that the black pin was another more complex stage which led to another coin

Re: Wil Strijbos!!!
Nothing wrong with having a large selection of unopened puzzles
Just means you'll be very very busy over Christmas
