It is also running with a little more power than it originally came with.
A real workhorse right there 65'er. I love mine, with the potted motor. And it was a pleasure to overhaul such a fine, well-made machine.
I'd love to find one of those all metal foot controllers for mine if should happen to run across a spare.
The new plastic ones just don't cut it.
