Always liked the idea of restoration of vehicles and dabbled a while ago with a BMW 1000. Thats long gone but I was wanting something to tinker with over the winter and then I saw a Sigma 9P on Ebay . It was a year 2000 model so quite old but made a bid and I won it for less tan I intended to go.
Anyway it arrived today and after stripping it down and making a list of parts needed, splash guard and knife , also the water bath. .... Its not in bad condition at all and I would say its done very little work. I have started it up and the motor is a lot quieter than a Plasplugs cutter I have and quieter than the Dewalt.
Not sure how far I will go with the rebuild yet but it will be used as it should.
Pics to follow

Its a shame that there are the few parts missing but he wasnt lying when he said most of the dirt was only dust, even what adhesive was on there has come off clean.

I did'nt know it was even on there...may have made a bid.

Best buy you will ever make , coupled with a 86c blade and it will see you to retirement

 

[Gazzer]

Yes I aim to try the 86c wheel out but that will be the last thing to bolt on.

86c is awesome. Is this the one the guy used for chopping wood?
