That paint is still in great shape Sparksy!! Did you give it a respray?
No still original paint. Still quiet and works well.
Ive got a couple of others the same vintage in shed but are a bit scratched up. Still working though.
In back room Ive got a 29L I bought new in 82 when I worked up in port hedland. Bought from same place as StephenH1235 got his. Been in a bag since new and still looks it.
