Hey, thanks for those suggestions Steve. I slobbered over the W&Gs for some weeks, but considering where I intend to use one I opted for an easily found affordable one. Having zero experience in the field, I also couldn't be sure if all the parts were there and how expensive they would be. Dropping my tray on the rocks or dirt is a distinct possibility.
I didn't realize the Bantam was alum. thanks.
edited to add: having done a quick perusal here, JMiller said he had a badged Sewmor 303 in a bantam thread.

I'd have to ask what they weighed wouldn't I, to know if it was alum or cast.
Asking questions is what I do best
