Damn. I had only recently scourced a nice set of the silver/aluminium-coloured ones. :lol:

Ev's info is contradicting, I'd concentrate on the last sentance then you'll see you have the right colour arms!

To be more clear, it seems like the 54-55s out there in the real world have black assemblies but the parts book states otherwise.

If you found thin-arm sliver assemblies that is a good score, I seem to see black ones much more frequently.... when I see them at all.

I have some NOS arms, bases and blades also. They are mostly in black, but I think there are some in silver also.

And I have one NOS cromed round arm, also.

Hi Sean, as I am no barndoor man, I dont know what colour is right for you...I could look into it, but it would be much easier for you...

Well, here is a photo of the one with round arm that I got. If I understand it right, then this one should be for a 50-51?
