Interesting...do we know that this equipment is original via Heritage type
build records? Or perhaps damaged in transit and replaced on this side of
the ocean before delivery? What would happen if the damage (malfunction)
was determined at the factory and the only handy unit was an OD gearbox?
Maybe Jon M. can enlighten us on practices in this regard :-)
