Thanks Deejay,
Funny thing about where I live, 20 years ago there were over a dozen bowling clubs with 5km, now 2 and only one has turf.
Am talking to old friend in Malaysia right now and he asked me if I god buy an "as new" old grip as a base model, otherwise his grandson will probably use CAD/CAM to recreate it in his modern interpretation.
When you use the term engineer are your referring to an engineering workshop or just a competent mower service shop? The few that I have spoken to here in WA all used the term dress the blade and did not really want to go into what machinery they use to do it. Would hate for an apprentice to have a go at it and take too much meat off the cylinder as pics show it looks like enough metal on cylinder for another 50 years is serviced gently.
Speaking with friend I wonder if there would be market for quality new electric cylinder mowers? Hmmm
