The hand wheel looks crooked to me.
Yeah, you may be right. It does look like its bent, but could be just how it's photographed.
I figured it was how it was photographed. But, I could be wrong.... Can't the shaft be replaced? The wheel itself doesn't look damaged from that angle. But hard to tell anything based on those pictures. Someone needs to physically see it.
So who knows the 'skinny' on the Silver Badges? I remember reading a Billy comment like 900 pages ago, about 'if you see a silver badge, snap it up'... but I don't remember why...
