<p class="MsoNormal">A good place to look for paint traces is when you remove nuts and bolts. There’s often a trace that’s been protected over the years tucked away there. You might want to see if you can loosen a few things before you soak them, or maybe
the soaking doesn’t matter…others probably have a better opinion of that.<o:p></o:p></p>

the 3rd edition. This date suggests that the model was offered from some time prior to this edition. Does anyone have any idea what year it might have been introduced?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have been green, however. Some of the parts simply don't show any obvious traces. A little judicious wire brushing might help (as well as crawling on my back to look at the underside).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

couple of the disks are broken, so I need to look to see if/where I can source some. Not planning a restoration so much as a rejuvenation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
