This guy obviously has no clue. He's spending all kind of time to restore parts that are relatively easy and cheap plus he built a case that will not enhance what he has already done. He could have bought a complete working Columbia flat top, which I assume is what he is building, for about $100. If any of you know him I think you should gently educate him.
