I'm pretty sure oiling, cleaning and changing the motor carbon brush will take care of the clunky sound. Now I hope the spoked wheel I have on hand will fit... my daugter would be so happy to have this one!
Pictures will follow next week, when the cleaning job will be done.
Congrats. That is so nice that it will have a good home! The yellowing will come off easily. Esp with an enamel finish like that, I am pretty sure yo can use toothbrush and detergent.

Look forward to seeing photos! :-)

Now, ProfAnnie, just run along and get that Green Berneen! Sooooooooooooo gorgeous.
