G'day TC,
Yep, I'm not the tiniest bit game enough to verti the Buff myself. There are a few contractors around these parts who have successfully done it to Buffalo and the results have been fantastic. But when it comes time to have some skin in the game...I may just get it aerated come October. I'm certainly going to get it properly looked at before I jump in.
This thing I've got...I don't think it's been touched much since probably 1968! Everything that needed oil or grease got it, which is a plus. I guess for piece of mind I want to take the rollers apart. On the other hand they've survived for five odd decades of not being touched. So much for this being just a reel and paint job!
No way I want it showroom. If I went that far I could never use it. It has to be used, it's what it's for! The catcher dents were that tradeoff and I've gone for a colour I can get in a can if needed for touch ups.
I'll try to sit down over the weekend and resize the photos I have on my phone. They're a tad large to attach as they are.
