Fascinating scuff, thanks guys. I recently found a welding job on a machine, they'd welded and threaded a 3 inch nail to repair a broken rod on a bumper ring and rod (it had failed).
Great work guys…. Because of its age, and the fact that this game had been left in a container for 5 years before I bought it, it was always going to have lots of problems and issues. I appreciate you finding and dealing with things as they come up.
