I have an original one from 1980 ish bought for me by my parents. It’s looking a bit weary now but the new ones just don’t look man enough these days.

The jaws are of a lot better material than modern but mine are well worn, one of the foot lockout plastic clips is broken, I’ve lost a couple of the rubber foot parts. The main frame shows evidence of every colour I’ve used on the work I’ve put it through.

I was thinking of taking it apart and spraying the main frame but it’s well riveted

Has anyone done anything of a resto on these and sourced any of the original parts

Any suggestions gratefully received
