No, but i may have to get busy with the craft knife!!

When's the next beer up? I owe you a pint and a chin wag to make up for running off the minute you turned up!!

Much love

I tried and failed :? .
It's probably possible to do, but without giving anything away, you need the cards to be exactly the right size.
I also tried changing the outer card case of an original Extractor, but made a bit of a mess of that as well. I know where I went wrong and the actual workings of the Extractor are fine, so I might have another go at changing the outer case.

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

With the Extractor Gold there's a disc which goes through how to change the outer deck packaging. I bought mine before the Gold edition was released but saw Peter at Blackpool & he kindly sent me the extra disc so I could repair & refurnish mine. If you're trying to make your own without having bought the original though you might have copyright issues on your hands. It's easier to just buy the thing.

Please, you owe me nothing, will be nice to have a proper chat next meet, was almost like we had too many people last meet, spread across many tables

And if you left because of my stench, you wouldn't be the first :oops:

I own the Gold edition! Just thought it looked tricky!

Got mine at £25, if I had known how good it was, would have bought a few more at £25!

Thanks anyway mate

It's easier than you think to replace the outer case, just takes about an hour.

I can't find any reviews of the extractor on this site? Can one of you fine chaps help me out? I'm not sure whether to buy one yet as there's a tonne of other stuff on my list!
