Some important BN1 and BN2 parts can be hard to come by and expensive,
and the BN1 ... if not owned by an enthusiast, is not reliable by
modern standards.
That's why Kurt focuses on the BJ8s... best sale potential, lowest
cost to restore (i.e. all parts easy to get)... with least potential
for post-sale complaints about broken parts or annoying adjustments to
make....
