I have been restoring an old Bendix semi auto .We have had major problems with the bearings and seals but i think we have overcome it and i will get the bits back from an engineering friend of mine this week who has been remaking the bits.In the UK there are no spares @ all so it's been a real labour of love!!!!.Do any of your members have any info on the Bendix semi auto model MRE.It's a real great little machine. Anything will be helpful and any instruction info/ installation info.I look forward to hearing from you soon Regards
