Hello Llew, sb30inch and Mod BB

I have a preference here.
The first 45s' rollers were painted in a 'battleship gray' colour.
At some point - in the late 1970s - SB simply painted the rollers with
the same green they used for the frame.

I guess the idea was to make the machine presentable on the showroom floor.
I do not believe, at any time, SB 45 rollers left the factory unpainted.

I like the idea of painting the rollers - because in leaves a nice patina
that may last for years to come.

Hope this helps.
