Need for my 100: Lower u bracket Lift pin for casting Straps that attach to the pin

Jack, yes. I gave you the wrong number. Please go back to the PM. I will repost the correct number. My bad!

Hi Jack. Any pics available? I'm still interested.

Jack. I've got my eye on one right now, but, would be interested in seeing pics and knowing what you would like for it. I'll PM u.

Thought I would post a pic of the 100 I just refinished. Don't look too close! I use rattle cans for paint. Still, a very satisfying hobby. This one has new rings but mostly all original parts (as far as I can tell).

Thanks for the tip. Pursuing it. Hey, did you see the mint 122 for 450.00 on PA craigslist?

RayF: some quotes are worth cataloging and this one is one of them. Many thanks for the explanation!

RayF. Thanks! RE the mica, there's a you tube that gently gets the mica off with gentle abrasion, I forget, either 200 or 400 grit gentle paper.

Bfleish, I'm afraid to use any kind of solvent for fear of damaging insulation. Still, it's a mess inside and I'd like to swab it out. I don't think the S/G has ever been rebuilt. The fields look to be in good shape.

RayF, I'm currently looking to rebuild the starter generator on my 100. What do you use to clean the inside of the S/G?

Thanks Ken for the response. Boy, I used to live in Chicago. It might have worked.

All, I've got the itch to restore an Original. Prefer it to run, but, that's not necessary. Rust is expected. Prefer to pick up within a few hours of Northern Virginia. Thanks.

Dware, I got a job at Library of Congress in the Exhibits Department.

Dave, Maybe breakfast some day once the goverment let's us go to IHOP

Yea. Trust me, I'd rather be out west . .
