Default RE: IMAI Elefant

Congrats on locating am Elefant. You'll have fun restoring it. You might wish to be careful when running it "off road" as
there is some variation in the quality and location of the track pin holes leaving some track links with dangerously thin
material to bear the stress. The track is not exceptionally fragile but if it binds while running there is there is a possibility
of a broken link. I had such an occurrance while running one of my Elefants some years ago fortunately I have some spare links.
I would feel substantially more comfortable running them if I had access to additional track.
