IL Rebuilding 12A

I am currently rebuilding an SA 12A. I was happiliy washing out and cleaning all the parts when I realized the center housing had some scratches and wear. On closer inspection it was no good. When I checked the rear housing it too was bad. I was bummed. Checked around and with my discount the still would have cost around $500 new. Decisions! what 2 do? I checked the for sale ads here and found used ones. Should arrive next week. Once I get them Project will be back on track, if they are as advertised. Anyway I live in the west side of the city (chicago), have all my junk in the basement ready to assemble. in a few weeks after cleaning and inspecting the new parts I will attempt my first rebuild! Anyone who wants to come and help/watch/learn/ridicule is welcome! PM and we'll talk.
