That brass engine has the look and sound of quality! Did you have to give it some grease or oil?

[@daveclarklumber]

I gave it some light weight oil…and a new driveline! I should have recorded that!

'Made in japan' back in 1956 was considered, 'Junk' poorly made and shoddy at the time. 'Japanese Quality' was something of a rarity, With the exception of that Tenshodo model the quality is good, That was the Proto 2000 in it's day that sold at $40.00 which in today's money would retail at $500.00
