Here are some shots of a Vortex that was saved for me by a friend when someone was clearing out their garage of junk some time ago. It just needed some minor bits fixed like the starter cord and starter assembly o ring replaced. It runs pretty well and I used it to do the lawn around my mum's unit block a few times earning regular praise from a young mother in one of the other units!
It's a bit rough around the edges, but I can't complain when it was free and I love the look of it despite some (solidly done) mending.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
