Title: Spirit of 76 - looking for a restorer
Post by: mickfish on May 30, 2009, 11:27:36 PM

I have acquired a Spirit of 76 which is in a sad state -chrome corroded and woodwork warped by damp. Looking for a restorer.
Reply here or contact Mike on 0411 741 691. Sydney northern beaches.

Hopefully you get a taker on this, sounds like a classic machine.

Hi is this machine for sale or are you looking for someone to restore it for you?

  How about an introduction to tell us about yourself in the introductions section?

If i might fill in here a bit.

Mike approached me at Expo with regard to this machine. From memory, it was sold years back by Mike and recently repurchased. Machine is in a sorry state compared to what it was.
 Id be happy to take this project on, but add the cost of transport to brisbane and back and it will get a bit expensive. I pointed Mike in the direction of this forum as there are plenty of members that are in Sydney area that might be able to help out.
 from what i can gather - machine no longer works and looks shabby.
 Im sure most of the work could be done by Mike himself  - the chrome etc.
He will need someone to get it going though -

If you could post pics on this forum Mike  it would help - would be good to be able to assess the machine

Whereabout in the northen beaches are you?

I am in the Cromer area every now and again and would be happy to have a look at it for you.

I couldn't take it on myself, I think, however would be happy to point you in the right direction?

Let me know

Ric
