I have heard the axle shafts are no longer made which does surprise me as I thought there would be a strong demand for them .

That did make me smile !!! I get your drift . However the instruction book is Japanese not Chinese as it has Hiragana,Katakana and Kanji script . I guess you know this anyway .If it were Chinese it would only have Kanji script, More totally useless information from the Land of the Pilgrims .

John,

Since Maako is from Japan, I thought maybe a Model A parts book (not an instruction book) in Japanese might help.

OK got it now I did not notice Maako was from Japan. I had initially thought as a lot of reproduction parts are made in China hence your post . About 45 years ago I worked in Fukuoka Japan for a few years hence my vague knowledge of Japanese script .Yes indeed it is a parts book ,silly me . I kept my eye out for an A but never saw one .

Rear axles are only not being mad because they are difficult to make at the price they have been selling for. It is not due to lack of demand. The guy that may make some, is having a hard time getting them made and keeping the price affordable. If people would pay $500 each they would make them tomorrow

Once upon a time, Argentina and Spain were the brunt of our jokes. Now the answer is simply Mo Money - Mo Money. Look how far we have come. Still looking to hear about the lost warehouse in Russia, full to the brim. What? Someone already found it? Now what?
