I picked this one up recently for an unusually low price. The restoration took a couple weeks, most of which went to the decals. I think it turned out pretty good, and that old Pittman DC-91 is a crazy powerful motor!

The video's pretty long this time. I added some timestamps in the main description on YouTube.

Darth Santa Fe, doing weird and challenging projects for the fun of it!

I watch all of your videos.

I saw this one when it came out.

I'm currently building an A/A set myself. I bought some universals to replace the drive tubing. The drive tubing doesn't really work all that well when everything is spaced apart so far. Mine came with the smaller DC-71(?) motor. My motor fell apart so I bought a large can motor for it. Hoping to have mine finished as soon the universals come in.

You did a really great job on this one.
