[SEL] Why the spokes don¹t line up

[Arnie Fero]

G'day Patrick,

One suggestion...  Keep those added "balance weights" along with a good set of
pictures, and make up a display board to show with the engine.  Those "farm repairs"
are an important piece of the engine's history and add something to the display and
to the hobby.

See ya,  Arnie
