Lucked into MG34 Laufbehalter for $150!

Post by MG34Biker »

A local guy had one on the table, first told me $125, but when I came back, he changed the price to $150. Still much cheaper than eBay or Ohio Ordnance.

Its a crappy primer-grey repaint. I'll post before and after pics later.

Finally charged up some new batteries. Here are the pics. The former owner just painted over whatever rust and dirt were on it. There are traces of the red primer base. I'm going to low-pressure bead blast then repaint. I haven't decided what color, yet. That will depend on what color my skooter gets painted.

The guts appear to be intact. The endcap needs to be tweaked a bit.
