be carefull with the pump chain... there should be shims on top of the pump underneath the cast iron crankshaft frame to raise the crankshaft a little so the slack on the chain is removed. to much slack on the chain can cause the leather teeth on the gears to get damaged, I've seen them get stripped in a single revolution.

This seems to be an optical effect: In the viedeo it looks much more dramatic than it is in reality. No idea how that happens.

playing nice! Good restoration, but what is happening with the mandolin rail? I can see it move, but i can't hear it?

To be honest: the video is actually a kind of pastiche, the images don't always match the sound. And for the Irish piece I had turned off the mandolin, because the sound didn't fit Ireland for me at all.
