Bought a PPS Hurricane SN 200 at a garage sale. PPS puts it at a roughly 1990s marker. To put it short, it came to me leaking out of every single possible hole, heavily tarnished nickel plating, gunked up internals and an ugly sort of "paint" or some type of superficial varnish that was dinged and scratched.
As it came to me:
Well....let's see...something like 4 years later, a few dollars, a broken wooden spoon, a trip to the hardware store, a set of seals from PPS, parts generously donated by friends, invaluable assistance from Drum, Jimmy, Craig and others, and a few choice words, Hurc #200 is back in fighting form.
If any of you would be interested in seeing the long version of the restoration, I can dig up old pictures and type up a little illustrated "story" for you all from beginning to end.
I'm not one to believe in naming markers, but if there is one marker I own that may even deserve one, this would be it. Unfortunately, I also believe that a marker cannot be named by its owner, so hopefully it will pick one up worthy of its history somewhere down the road.
Anyways, I digress.
