ALERT!! SOUND THE ALARM!!..

when I full inspect mine, i'll report back. Any clean up, or replacement parts I'll report the "what's and why's". I expect good castings, and I almost went with the bare casting for 219 each. But I want to form an opinion, good or bad, by disassembly.
Have the Dremel ready when you open them up, it will be obvious where gains can be made.
Have fun with a great winter project. I believe the SM's are a good investment.
