[TheForge] Restoring a champion blower

[apeshet at comcast.net]

Hi,
I think the only reason I got such a deal on this Champion blower was that it was in pieces in a box and no one at the estate sale was quite sure what it was.  The only parts that need help are the bearings.  My husband seems to think that it will be easy to find a replace for the actual ball bearing string.  The holder part is fine.  Hope he's right!
