Hey Joe,  

 on a great score there man, I paid $160 for mine on ebay and had it gone over, very kindly, by Bruce. The Series 80 full-crank engine is a beauty, first pull starting on mine. Can't wait to see the pics Joe.
BTW, I painted my handles with white gloss Killrust...came up a treat!  

Also Joe, think about putting on a Victa edger 
disc, (better than the blade, by far!) Part No: ME 63222 in the Online Store.
PPS, Here's a pic of my handles during painting!
