Just received my ebay purchase, and in the words of Luke Skywalker What a peice of junk!
First of all the upper half is rusty, The clamp is a repro that has no tabs and has a GR on it. The bottom half is steel tubing and gives it good weight to it. The bulb release lever is missing and the pin that holds the bulb ears is not there. The pins beneath the red button are gone and it looks as if someone had dissasembled it at one time. It has two red buttons neither which are correct but it has the empire style grips and the empire d ring.
Is this worth working on? Whats a good way to clean rust off the body, And wheres a good source for parts?
