It is in surprisingly good nick for one of these - as is the fabric covered flex - must have been stored well. GC8 cart - untried as yet - the RF co-ax lead (I rather like them as interconnects) is in a bit of a state (screen pinch clamp upside down for example!). And those were the tools I didn't have to hand. Yes the speed selector is very stiff - I shall proceed with care.
