Hi Jeffrey, thanks for posting the pic of the Model 4 Auto, you are a legend! You have given me a great idea for my Victa 18 coffee table.
As you know I have been racking my brains to come up with a solution to the handle bar supports that will not detract to much from the machine itself. After viewing this particular pic, I spied the redundant bar for your front flap and then realised that my machine is the first Model 5, with the Predicta extensions still fitted. These I can utilise to fabricate the handle bar support. I will fit a bar in place, and from the centre of this, I will weld a 'V' profile of the same diameter rod that will reach both handles and weld 2 'U' shaped pieces to the ends (lined with felt) to support it.
If you could please tell me the diameter of your rod, I will then measure and fabricate it (preferably in stainless) and then install. A big 'V' for Victa! Here's your pic re-posted.....
