Well thanks to one of our own these have now (finally) been returned to their former glory.
Was lucky enough to be approached by a SNA member who is semi local, has some passion and know how.
He wasn't interested in how much money he could make from the repair unlike the last 2 @#$%TARDS who were prior to him.
I picked them up from him yesterday where they've been for some time. He had lots of fun with them, now it's my turn.
