Eh, it's cool in it's raw finish, but it's pretty much a shelf queen like that. I'm pretty sure these models aren't going to hold their value any better as a raw brass finished machine, other then for the fact that they are quite simply another low hour, like new model that has never been run. I think it looks better painted!

I agree with Nathan. I got this unit so I could show up at the pile with a machine that was ready to work.I really don't plan on ever selling it, so market valve is not so important to me. I thank all of you guys for inspiring me and I am in awe of some if the builds on this board.I have to take it apart slightly to install the smx sound unit and custom speaker box from scale-art. Oh well back to work.
