Yeah Tony, definitely big issues with that machine.......maybe you should try to clean it up a bit and get rid of it while you can. 
Sensational looking machine mate!!!!!
My first thoughts would have been a connector or header pin/s somewhere as well, especially after the trip down to Aust. I don't know what my second thought would be....still busy staring at the pics. Did the seller have any other projects running at the time?
Hi Ya mate, How's it going ?
I think he's now working on a STTNG .
