The pretty Cymbal is now up and running, but makes quite a groaning noise. I took a short video. I didn't touch the timing screw for the ribber (old lesson, once learnt never forgotten - if it ain't broke, don't fix it). You would think I now had a sense of achievement, but for some reason I don't. I don't really think it was worth what I paid for it in the state that it was in, and I regret that. It's not perfect now - the upthrow can plate screws are so loose they may as well not be there. To get it up to serviceable level I shall have to buy some weights next, and opening clasp band. I will do it, as I don't like things half complete. Perhaps most of my disappointment comes from considered opinion of other people that the multi-coloured decals add nothing to the value.
It is not a beginner's machine, there are still some kinks to be worked out, but tomorrow I may, I may, knit a sock on it.
