Thank you. Thanks for looking at that 45 for Daniel, BB. I was extremely impressed with that young guy & I am so happy that you could get his machine ticking.
The electric 45 (is there another model # for the electric?) is coming along.
The rear reel bearing caps were on the wrong sides (elongated holes opposite the chain end, which I believe is wrong) so it has been apart at some time in its life.
I shall attach a couple of shots of the newly painted bits. I have mixed the shading myself as it was not deep green or apple green, so some may not like the shading.
I'm not happy with the catcher as it has had some serious conflict on one corner. May have to re-manufacture, which would be a shame as the gauge is considerably heavier than modern metal
Cheers
John A
