Hello Alan
A warm welcome from us here in OZ [even as we approach our Winter].
Victa made a huge impact in the UK at this time.
... And I feel they showed the world what a good rotary would look like.
Linking pics is easy-peasy
HERE. It has the original green catcher but it is going brittle and has cracked in a couple of places. Is there anything that can be done to repair/treat them or is it just a case of shutting it away in the dark for the rest of its days?
I hope someone has an answer to that - but some plastics seem to be time-limited.
I am starting to wonder if this will be too expensive to restore back to near factory condition?
I don't think so, but I am not a collector or restorer.
I hope our experts will comment.
These are not common machines nowadays, and this was a great model
that consolidated Victa's reputation.
I feel this is a project that would require some dedication though.
We appreciate you reminding us that Victa had a significant presence
in the UK in the 1970s.
Great to hear from a UK enthusiast.
