I have some looms, not sure what years.
Maybe talk to Nick he has a 57 loom
Mine are all packed up.
I can get you hooked up with a new loom but they are not cheap.

Its all cool mate, its only hanging in my shed, if you want it consider it yours. Dunno why I wanna keep it, prob just cause its 54, but I know how hard it is to find early bits, so I'd like to see it go to a good use.

I've got a few good lenses & average buckets dated around 56/58 if you get stuck, but someone down Mexico way should have some...
