Some before and after of this machine.  The mechanicals were rusted worst then the case.  help  Took awhile to figure out how all the little rusted parts and springs were supposed to work  censored The button selection mechanism was unbelievably complex by itself  darn  I am happy with the way it turned out and works perfectly now.  I like to "Refurbish" my toys so they are presentable, working, and FUN. Its not perfect, as I have neither the time, patience, budget or the expertise as MANY of you on this site do. (Some of the machines I see on here are incredible!!!)  With all the u selects surfacing I have not seen many like this one before. It was actually a gift from the wife for my 50th last year!

That's lovely... i am desperate for one of these. You know when you hobby turns into an addiction when you are forever searching google for images etc. I remember seeing this on eBay a while back and was wondering whether you did anything with it.

Did you think about having a stand fabricated???
