Hi waikphys,

Well firstly thanks for the photos.

It certainly is a very dry machine and shows no kind of lubrication on any of the drive train components. Also that belt is really slack and needs to be tensioned up so that there's no slack in it and only about half an inch deflection on the non tensioner side (the long straight non impeded side of the belt)

I guess I have to ask the question, what do you really want out of this machine ? for it to be a daily driver for keeps or would you rather locate a model 45 that has basically all parts available ?

Cheers,
BB
