Well, luck is a fickle thing. If I win it and it works, then I'm lucky. If I win it and it doesn't work ..... then I'm not.
As for the plug I have a local guy with a store full of ancient, vintage, old, run of the mill, newish, new, and current cord sets. He will "probably" have it. If not there are several places I've seen on the 'net that sells cords. Failing that, I'll fabricate something. "Improvise - adapt - overcome".
Learning curve. Yep I have a bunch of those sitting here now. I'm gradually working them over making them run.
Now, can someone either point me to some pics or links of the cam stack inside that machine? I'd like to get an idea of where and how they break.
My memory is telling me I've already read about a broken cam stack, but I just can't place where.
