Sounds to me like you got your guys a winter project
It does sound like an absurdly funny idea.
I own two of 'em, so modifying one isn't a concern for me. I'd like to modify it in a fashion that means it can be restored to factory easily. That'd add some complications.
Hell, you could probably find a non running one for cheap as hell and not even mess with the two good ones you have
I dunno? I suspect the vast majority have been restored to running state. They're kinda collectible and one of those things that aren't all that expensive to restore to running condition and dump on the market for a few bucks.
I'd rather not invest the time trying to find a broken version - which probably won't be in the US. If they are importing them, they'll be in good condition/running condition.
