Again, if the owner doesn't give a rat's heinie about "original", then "original" is immaterial. Golly, I guess I shouldn't tell anyone here that I plan on buying a mid 70's racing Paramount and then adding a 3 chainring front.... And also repainting it if needed...

Agree. I received a freewheel and a spare chain. Haven't checked to see if its the skipped tooth original setup.
