This particular mother turns out to have never been used -- as
evidenced by intact crosshatch pattern on the cylinders and other
circumstantial signs like condition of paint near various pipes that
are supposed to be hot when running. It also runs and pumps. I tried
only one pump so far.
However, there is some rust on the valve plates near reed valves due
to condensation. I will have those valve plates precision ground and
that, I think, will get it to top shape.
