I only kept one Astra, a V789. It’s in a room with a dehumidifier. Initially, after restoration, it would exhibit the typical “damp” LOPT syndrome if left running for more than ten minutes or so. However, after several months in a room kept at around 50% humidity, it now runs for an hour or more without fault. I guess the drier air and heat from the set (when running) has driven out/drawn off some moisture.
I have never tried draining and refilling the oil, but I’m pretty sure other threads on this forum show how it’s been done successfully.
I also have the Murphy Service News that covered the “no delay when switching between 405 and 625 mod”. I’ll look it out and email it to you.
