Keep seeing knackered ones at the tip that might be a nice restoration project. One of these days.

.. and you're right about the noise. My parents' neighbour used to have a particularly badly maintained and rattly one that was used religiously every Sunday morning - a few hours after I rolled in P1$$3d!  >:(

I've got a cheap and nasty Tecumseh rotary job. 80 quid from B&Q in a sale IIRC. Keep expecting it to die but it's been fine. Lob a litre of GM semi synth in it each year and clean the gum out of the float chamber. Sharpen the blade on the bench grinder and off it trundles...
