Default Turntable for 'F60T'...ish.

As they specialise in large truck repairs & body fabrication, I enquired about purchasing a suitable turntable when inspecting my chassis repair progress at the engineering works this morning. I meant to ask about this last week but didn't get an opportunity. My timing is as good as always, because there WERE some tired (read as 'stuffed') units up the back of the yard until a little while ago, at which time they were removed and sent for scrap! Lucky me!
Because they often come across turntables in need of replacement (read again as 'stuffed'), they will have more at some point in the future, and I have asked to be contacted once something suitable turns up. Cost will be negligable on such items. I have no intentions to ever use the vehicle to tow a trailer rig so an old one won't be an issue for me. In fact I would have the damn thing permanently disabled, to avoid having to register as a prime mover, and require an articulated licence. For now, I just wait. I'm used to that. Don't like it, but used to it.
