No it's Rexam beverage can.
I have tried to order parts direct but get told I have to use Locators.
You may be able to supply parts for a 1960 machine but last time I ordered a wheel cylinder for a 2003 machine it took nearly 2 months to arrive and was hugely over priced.
We once needed a hyd control valve for an F9 and was given a price of 9500K and 4 months lead time, in the end we were supplied a retrofit kit which required the chassis to be modified to fit, none of the pipe work fitted as all the fittings were ORFS fittings and the steel pipes on the truck were JIC, when I contacted Hoist direct I got a one sentence answer basically saying "we don't use jic anymore" when you pay nearly 4k for a retrofit kit you would think it would fit without having to change steel pipe work.
This machine cost us a fortune in the end and continues to breakdown regularly.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
