This was a very sad sack machine in complete non-operating condition, received free from a local aviation club who just wanted it out of their way. It had a wrong motor, inoperable switch, no chance of running whatsoever as received. With a proper replacement motor, new electricals, and complete strip/paint job, it's now back in service. It needed a couple replacement parts that were not particularly difficult to make, and I also created a replacement Boice Crane logo using a water slide decal. This is a heavy DP, not all that attractive in my opinion, but interesting to say the least. It is quite complete and ready to use.
