Hi Mystyler,
Thanks for the feedback. I've got a sneaking suspicion you're absolutely right! I started cleaning it today, and then realised I'd need to take this bit off and that bit off to clean it properly. And then I thought a proper ground-up rebuild would be nice, so I already feel exactly what you're saying - "I'll just clean it" will become a total tear down very quickly, I suspect. I'm really looking forward to it, and my partner said to me "Has this become your life now? Looking at this machine, pondering it, working out your strategy..." She knows me well, and I think it shows I'm already addicted.
It's a heap of fun, and it's great to have forums like this to share the journey!
Cheers,
Sean
