    I have an old elephant fencer here for years and years. Cylinder in shape. I don't have any model number or even a photo at the moment. Thing is the points need replacing and the lad that done them last time has died since. I don't know where to start to look for them. Any advice out there?

    Ring up Cheetah in Ballon. Only up the road.
    They'll tell you yes or no anyway.

    Can your electric fence be repaired?

    Ja or Nej.
    (I never knew they were made in Holland).

    Cheetah weren't very original with the name of their company and fencers.:rolleyes:
    Didn't do them any harm though.

    Throw er in the bin Muckit. The points are off the market for over 20 years now. May go spend money now and I am allergic to that sort of thing.

    Tried them today. The fence is out of production since about 79/80. I suppose we got our value out of it.

    What are the points? Could a handy guy with a soldering iron mend it?
