Not a pleasant sight on removing the head.  I'm continuing to strip it down but wondering will it now become a garden ornament or is it worth restoring.
I've tried to post photos but to no avail.

How big are the photo files (in megabytes, not pixel size)? They may be over the upload limit.
Cheers!

Hmm, the site limits are all larger than that... however, I've upped them some more, can you try again please?

Also, if it still fails, please send me a screen grab of whatever error you get, so I can try and track the problem down.

Thanks!
Ade.

Think I'll need to resign my startomatic for scrap. Took side inspection plate off and findings aren't good.
Any joy with photo issue Ade?

@ Toylexus
You are probably right, it is beyond saving.
 Maybe the flywheels are still usable??
Likely not, given the rest. Should I say rust?
It was worth the investigation though, and may you have better luck with your next find.
Cheers

Thanks Hugh. I really appreciate your input from the start. I detest scrapping anything like this but unfortunately it's too far gone.
