Wow !!! Now that's one of those lucky situations that he didn't run over it and you know the rest !
I guess I've always preferred the unpainted finish to most of the mechanical bits around the reel as this way it looks busier than too much green.
Yes SB started out painting them but by around 1976 they stopped doing that as it was another stage of the build they could eliminate, thus saving costs again as they were already drowning in the world of Rotaries such as Victa and Rover, plus many others.
Cheers, BB.
PS. Did I mention Victa in a Scott Bonnar post ?????

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
