It's beyond me. I was going to be the first person to fire it up today but now I wonder
if I should.  I'm not to keen on the way the unattached arm can swing.
Daniel, have you ever fired yours up?  Anybody???

I placed an offer on this and was pleasantly surprised when it was excepted.
It arrived today and came with everything except the box. It has never been
used so see it with my version from PMR, (that's the one with the red wheel).
I did find something puzzling between the two and I'll show that at the end.

Now here's the puzzler. This next picture is from the PMR version.
There are two arms going down towards the cylinder on both sides
and are both attached on the top and on the bottom with two silver
pins. The one I just got from SEoPA only has one pin at the bottom
left side. The arm on the right just hangs there and swings a little.
It looks like there's a hole in it for a pin, but no pin on that side.
Does anyone else have both of these models to see how yours are pinned?
