Another question, does the cutter bearing housing get painted? It seems to have been painted in the past, but I've seen other threads where people have been told not to paint it. I'm also considering upgrading to a stainless steel front roller with bearings. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've read through old posts, but none of the links work.
I also noticed that I had no bearing seal/felt/sponge for the cutter. It has worn into the chassis as a result. I've noticed that this item is no longer for sale. How would I go about making one up?
Am I correct in saying that the front roller assembly is painted silver and not hammertone green? I apologise for bombarding you with questions, but I'd really like to replicate the original colour scheme. My nan would get a kick out of it. Apparently my grandfather used to have 3 SB45's on the go at any one time. I guess it runs in the family...
If anyone has any close up pictures of a restored SB45 (to original paint/decals) that they could PM to me or post here as a guide, I'd really appreciate it.
