    How hard could it be?
    Get some paints and a toothbrush.

    Thanks. Never really considered Tuna as I perceived they were “enormous” but as I was wearing an OM as a daily (less now as it really needs a service) maybe they aren’t.

    Chrono24 -anything to be aware of?

    So it seems that there are a selection of Lemania 5100s on Chrono24. Most of them seem to be in Germany.
