… with some assistance from an neighbour who's ex-machinist from Port Kembla who's eyes opened wide when I showed him it. Then when i asked if he'd be prepared to assist in it's restoration they opened even wider I took it as a yes LOL.

.

That's great news, Ray …

The underlying quality of the machine must still be shining through !!

Please keep the photos coming, as you proceed: Those of us with BCAs and similar can then remark upon any features that are common to them, or novel to your machine.

If you want to find any … search in the corner, just by the Rocking Horse manure !

Seriously: if they're the same as the BCA ones, they are very scarce.
