I have two 700 mills. I have repainted both and I got decals for them but never installed the decals. There is an antique coffee mill association which I joined back in the late 1990's but I dropped out. I have posted pictures of both 700's which work fine but I only use the one in the kitchen. The other is in my gun room. One had bearings in it which I replaced and the other has bushings. The one in the kitchen was actually froze up when I got it and I had to use wheel puller to get the wheels off. I got it apart, had it sandblasted and put it back together with new bearings and it works great. The bases are different even though both are 700's. One has the lid covers I had made and one has original.
Allan made both bases for me over 10 years ago.
I think I'll make a cup of coffee.
