I had a giggle at the running of several mowers at once. I was thinking of trying that myself with my motley fleet of 125 and 160 full cranks as well as Powertorque mowers. Glad someone thought of doing that too.
Celestial was a Waltons brand not just for their mowers. I have an oscillating fan my late gran bought in 1978 that I use on hot nights to help me sleep. Very quiet and effective. Made in Japan.
You can get a repro "made for Waltons by Victa Ltd" label for the deck, though the Victa logo looks really neat together with the Celestial 160 badge on yours. I can't abide the Starlet Life label on bluey, however. It just looks incomplete on video at least.
Cyberjack, I really appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed reading your take on this extraordinary mass refurbishing of these increasing collectable and sought after low arch machines. Pete has made me appreciate their undeniable symmetrical aesthetic.
Here's the Celestial fan still saving me from an even harder night's sleep.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
