    I will. Lots of differences/improvements over the original Douglas. For example the main gears are cut helical rather than straight, so it might be quieter. Nice to have a gearbox as it's neater and more compact, as well as easier to change speeds. I'd guess it's pretty rare, and the down side of that of course is that spare parts would be less available. Still, it's a relatively simple unit, and I do have machinery to make parts if required, in theory.
