I have one of those junk fathoms as you know Neno (was good to meet you)
payed absolute stupid stupid money for it .
was not happy to pay that but i have a real fathom
spent heaps on a lot of new parts also had to make some bits for target mechs that were unavailable
+ some bling stainless steel bits
I like new machines but ...
So without going into detail, could you tell us how much you currently have in your original and how much you still have to do to bring it up to 'restored/collectors' quality?
