Don't get me wrong, I am VERY happy with this purchase!

Was found for less than a regular 20

There's nothing wrong with this Nick, unless you paid too much. I like it a lot, it has cutouts on the side to see
more movement of the con rod. Grease cups or oil on top of the journals, and the old style cylinder head.
Is that J, on the head a decal or a stamping? As far as the corners being nicked up,
that's not the original base anyway is it? No I like that a lot.
You have spotted many of the features making this a special "Deluxe" model. The "J" is engraved into the head
The base is original, still don't know why they made them so BIG for these models... and the dings aren't too bad...
