well .... yes and no. not giving up on her has left me with a complete centennial blackside that has a bent main shaft( somebody dropped it and it hit the handwheel) so it binds just slightly... trying to decide if I try to buy another shaft or if i take the shaft out and head to the shop and try to straighten it ( I can do that kind of work........... years of working in the automotive/aviation/recreational racing field have taught me a little ) but man what a pain.........
I do like Franki though, that big wheel makes her run SO smooth. She may end up being my hardened military cased deployment machine ;-) she is also the oldest of my 3 (1947)
