Thanks Darryl for you warm welcome and very infomative reply.
I think I'll get a 45 model and just keep this old girl should I get my hands on some decent secondhand parts to keep it runnning smile

There is one model 45 for sale not too far from me for $550 but I'd also like to know how to identify what year it is. I would presume it's a pretty recent model.
Is the year on the ID plate?

Thanks again
