Thanks Tyler and Norm.
I've found the blade holder under the house, and I've ordered some new blades to fit. I'll take the opportunity to clean out above the blade holder under the base while the blade holder is out.
At the end of the day, the machine won't be 100% standard, but at least I can keep it as a spare machine until I get a chance to actually put some effort into restoring it.
I will keep the original blade carrier, but being able to purchase the blade and bolt set is a big bonus.
Now to find a green catcher to replace the cracked black one I have...
