Hi Leon, and a big warm welcome to the forum.
It's great to hear that you are restoring a Model 45, they are a great machine to work on and will give you heaps of satisfaction when it is complete.
Don't forget to take some photos as you go along and please post them on the forum as we all love to see 'em!!
Also, don't forget to log into chat sometime, we're often online around 8pm.
P.S. While you have the cylinder reel and bottom knife blade assembly removed for painting, now would be the perfect time to have them re-sharpened if it needs it.
