Evening all.
I have been after a project for a while, but not really rushing anything (nothing worst than having a project for the sake of it and not really being 'into it' enough).
I have always liked the zolatone Marin's so when I saw cce advertising this (and as its a good cause, see link in the fs thread) I quickly snapped it up. Thanks to cce and also t1nt1n, who is kindly holding it for me until I can pick it up (first time Dad with a very little one at home )
I haven't picked it up yet but was after some information so that I can start getting things sorted (in my head at least).
I confess that my knowledge of Marin's is quite patchy so I'm not sure of the year...can anyone help me out?
Anyone with a link to the original spec/catalogue? Trying to work out the hierarchy of Marin models in this era - am I right in thinking this was reasonable bitd?
Anything else that anyone wants to add will be received gratefully.
I have to warn the purists though, budget and time constraints mean that this will be functional rather than a replica piece, but it will get used and hopefully loved. Over time I hope to do it justice, but it may be a bit scruffy to begin with
Photos in the original thread (I'll try and post them directly in here shortly but my laptop is on a go-slow):
