Drat, my husband tried calling Sutton's and they have apparently closed down. Any idea how we hire someone to fix/replace this thing and take the old broken top away (it finally rusted through and broke off)?
It's an Australian design icon, but the #Hillshoist has a complicated history. While Toyne's name is unknown by many, there's no doubt that his mechanism helped cement the hoist's precious place in Australia's domestic history, creating an enduring icon for the nation.
