no 1m stamp i can see , just the numbers you see before and yup its up n running now . starter was slooooooow but cleaned out the years of crud and it spins a lot faster now , starts easy and runs sweet . shame about the base , mine is just the steel mount that broken . a mate rewelded and i cleaned it up looks ok but not great . i'll keep an eye out for another base , and thanks for the cathcer advice mate .
