Good luck with this! At least you have a few coopsters in your area who are knowledgeable.

Any documented history arrive with it?

Good to see you haven't been hanging about laugh

Did you manage to find a matching bonnet?

How did you fix the (non) self-cancelling indicators? It's not actually clear whether it's still "to-do" or "done" laugh

And an excellent how-to it is.

Something you may notice is that the white plastic cylinder in the centre of the unit has a lot of play - if you can find a way to reduce that it will tend to help the two "teeth" engage better.

I used O rings...
