Jon, I have padded the estimate a bit but will likely do so a bit more for the actual proposal and subsequent contract. I found that even in it's dilapidated condition it has more than a "twinklky tone suited to granny's tea room". What I'm most concerned about is the parts situation. It sounds as though I'll be rebuilding wippens and the like. What fun! ;-\ The pin block doesn't worry me too much but other things that I can't easily duplicate could become quite the P.I.T.A. all the best, Greg Jon Page wrote: >> I just made an agreement , in principal, to rebuild one of these.
