I picked up these two on eBay. They were covered in sticky goo that was covered in dust. These were gross...

These two models needed lots of help. However both were fairly complete. I did not even want to put these on my photo backdrop because they would leave filth all over it.Silenced

The Cat 615 is getting hard to find. It is a really nice model. Anyone ever make metal chains and flights for one?

Nice couple there Ethan. Yeah I got a 615 a couple of years ago where thankfully the rubber chains were gone ( helped the sale price) with the intention of trying to super detail one day. Go for it!
