ASM's quality was hit or miss and internal parts were generally pretty soft.

Thanks for the information. It is nice to know what it is a reproduction of, even though it is not even close to being accurate.
I think I am, eventually, going to try my best to make it work. It looks like VTI can supply the parts to get her going.
