    Good day
    Busy with the above. Pictures as I was stripping and cleaning. Someone in their infinite wisdom used a hacksaw to saw off the peened end of the air intake tubes to presumably remove them from the base plate. Used anchor bolt sleeves as a repair!!!!
    Still thinking of how to repair those properly. Any ideas welcome 20231121_191153.jpg 20231121_191305.jpg 20231121_191224.jpg 20231121_202330.jpg 20231121_191206.jpg 20231122_202248.jpg 20231122_202709.jpg 20231122_203517.jpg 20231122_203537.jpg 20231122_203545.jpg 20231122_212033.jpg 20231122_212038.jpg

    Well she cleaned up better than i thought. Had to silbraze the air intake tubes to the bottom plate.Got some final cleaning up to do.

    She runs ok but have a slight halo. Will replace the jet when spares arrive. Now to look for a period correct globe 20231206_211320.jpg 20231206_211810.jpg 20231206_211658.jpg 20231206_211810.jpg

    Considering its condition when you received it, that's nice work. :thumbup:
