Well, Managed a trade for this Gr.B

It's complete (ish) with some 3d print arms and a TBG/MCI body. Stripped it down this morning and cleaned all the parts ready for rebuilding, I can't explain how much grease was packed in to the rear gearbox

Spent some time shimming the gearbox and did a full bearing upgrade

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate
