This shot shows the finished Toploader. I picked this up in the summer at a flea market and do not know much about it's history. I had a few people look at it , and we decided that it was in very good shape and that I would just clean it up and replace all the seals and gaskets. After it was cleaned and primmed, I sprayed it with Eastwood's "Cast Grey". To rebuild it requiers a lot of special tools, so I will take a chance on it working good. It would not be hard to pull it out later, if something goes wrong.

This shot shows the "guts". All the gears are fine, and the syncro's do not look to worn. There is not to much to go wrong in there, and these boxes are known to be very strong
