Scored this FO TT for about 120 dollars. built and shelfed by former owner .

Had a few weeks to do the following

Added gear reductions , Henntec idler , DKLM gearbox brace , going to be running a Clark tk60 ore 80 so recoil unit is rewired for that .

That's a bargain price, for a Tiger 1, Stian- especially one that appeared to be in good condition. It now sounds fantastic, and the reduction gears have given this Tamiya impressive, authentic-looking, slow movement.
