Fair enough....and we all have different levels of ability to restore a machine. So a 500 buck meteor project for me would need to be complete, and needing general stuff like pf cleaning, rubbers, coil sleeves etc. I cant touch boards or repaint. The delivery cost is a big part of the decision also.

Hey I am happy as long as they are being imported and sum1 is restoring them. Eventually I maybe lucky enough to buy one with the work allready done. Would love to own a machine the quality of a Nino resto oneday.
