Hello! I've been reading forums on here for years but never really got around to registering, until now.
I'm up in Alaska and finally found an old 40. There's a handful in MN but there all rough and gold-plated, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, been working on the restoration for the last year and a half and I've made decent progress I think. I know how you guys love pictures so I'll try and track down my photos from my old phone from when I first bought it. Until then here's a few snapshots in the meantime.
Check out the modified rear latch! The ball bearing really makes it smoooooth.
