The 2 individual sets of 3 rings worked out.... these were only 3/4 inch rings, but they matched the spacing as imaged. I just cut an unused plastic binder that I had to make front and back covers to protect the pages. Not a perfect solution, but for me it works. An additional benefit to this option, is that the pages lay flat and you can keep them with the updated guide book.

Managed to nab a spare A5 folder at work this morning. Found out that just one more hole needs to be punched and the pages fit perfectly. Of course that doesn't mean they are centrally positioned in the folder, but the top of the page is about 1mm from the edge, so is not visible or "sticking out" when the folder is shut. It's OK for me anyway, although it may not be ideal for all.

I might have found a workaround solution... I ordered this from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07VDX2TVH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4QALFbSH0V9A8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 it's a 3 ring grouping, supposedly with the proper spacing for the 2 individual 3 ring sections of an a5 binder. If 2 if these are used separately, you can make your own binder with the proper spacing between the 2 sections. Just make a front and back cover to protect the saved pages.. I'll let you know how it works out when I receive the shipment from Amazon..

I've also tried to obtain but the various ones I saw, whilst the spaces between the six individual rings were correct, the spacing between the two sets of three rings did not match what was needed. I tried ENSONS (manufactured the springs for Michael Gouby's binder) but no go. I contacted M.G. to see if he had any spare binders or could direct me to where I could purchase one but, again, no go. M.G. informed me that he had tried to obtain some "spares" but his printer informed him they were no longer in production, although he'd found one box of 300 ring springs in Italy that could be bought for £1000. Transpires this six ring spacing was the one used by File-O-Fax but went out of production 10 years ago. Would be interested to learn if anyone does manage to obtain any!

They're A5 six hole ring binder size pages. Some same sized examples can be seen here on Amazon

Does anyone know the size binder that is used for the guidebook??? I want to put the old pages in a separate binder for reference as it is too tight to have them in the back of the original.. Thanks

I am a minnow when it comes to Penny varieties too, but you can learn a lot from Richard's site: https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/ including relating Gouby and Freeman references.

That is 'Bizarre Happening of the Week' What a head scratcher....looks like it happened in France or Quebec... My update pack felt like some paper in a pile - what would that 'feel' make someone think that it was valuable?

Good luck with the test Richard , and get well soon. Terry

All the best Richard. Fingers crossed it comes back negative.
