nice job there and good to see Inters being restored even though getting parts is very difficult and finals are prone to failure. Some come up cheap here in Tassie from time to time but usually the finals are no good and the machine is trashed to death. Interesting use of D3 gear - something I did w...

I have an opportunity to purchase a battered MG40. Any suggestions as to their value nowadays. The owner is playing the usual make me an offer game!
