A few years ago I won a job lot of 4 mowers on ebay for 99c, had to travel about 45 minutes to get to sellers place. When I got there I saw that one of the mowers was a large Victa (I hadn't come across a Twin for quite some time, so I'd forgotten what they immediately looked like). Got them all home, unloaded and then thought this cowl is pretty long for a Victa, it was a Victa Twin with catcher. Took it apart, compression and spark in both cylinders was good, overall in very good shape so did the usual pre start servicing and away she went, ran perfectly, I didn't have to spend a cent on this one, I did in later years because I stripped it down and restored it, it now looks even better, managed to get a Compact and a Lightweight as well later and gave them the same treatment. Managed to pick up a near new grass catcher for the Twin about 6 months ago for $20. I reckon I did ok!
