OK, took some pics with the good camera (as opposed to the evil camera - web cam).

the view I was looking for is the actual Starboard view (as opposed to the starboard rail view...hehe)

The red arrows show the angle I am trying to see.

The green arrows show where a piece is missing. This should not effect the function though in most machines.

This site shows a good comparison. I suspect your's is a Frister & Rossmann, but the starboard face will tell for sure.

Thanks Steve. I have no idea which side is starboard etc, so too lazy to look it up but felt it was right to put in a boat reference somewhere. Didn't know the forum kept file names
So there *is* a piece missing. It looked that way but I couldn't see any rough edges.

I'll have a look at that URL when I get home (at work ATM) and let you know.

Funny thing is I used the name you saved without actually looking at which side it was... It is the Port side I wanted to see....

The trick I was taught (in the USAF no less) was that "Port" and "Left" are both the same length...

Ok- is it your left as you are facing the front of the ship while on/in the ship? Or to your left as you were looking toward the front of the ship? I'm seriously left/right challenged, without my ring would have a hard time remembering which was which. It's like when you are face to face with someone, your "right" is their "left".

lol Heather holds up both hands with the fingers up and the thumbs inward. the one that makes an L is left....
