Season's Greetings Jeff, Reinhard, and everyone,

Streetly also has available a new smaller,higher-torque
motor to replace the tired orig. unit  if needed.
Frank's Pindertron (MKII/134) which I'm restoring
is getting one . Fitted with the proper pulley diameter
for MK1-MK2-SFX-M300 models, of course.

Happy new Year 2004 !      -- Jerry Korb

MK1/124 ,    MK2/134 (visiting) ,  M300/037 ,
M400/681, and JKMK6/001
