Cool, thanks.
A few things about the 300; what parts on the 300 were green? I think only 2-gears were brass that I know of, the rotor gear and the body pinion. Just a personal opinion, but the original versions with the 1/2 bail were better engineered and a stronger unit than the the full bail ones, perhaps not as convenient to actuate though.
