Ok, took an exacto to the rear left drop out, serial number is: M8340. Which means, a 56.0 frame made in December, 1983 and was the 40th frame that month? Where was it made?
Tried the ole' righty loosey on the FD band, but all it did was strip it and I am not going to touch it until I find my smaller screwdriver (will have to use regulare since the phillips almost ruined it).
Dirtdrop, I was planning on cleaning and parting out the components, pm me if you want to work something. Not sure of the value off the top of my head, but I am sure we can figure it out. Any thing terribly special about it?
