I have consistently closed angles like that with a T-2 with an edm mounted on top. It may well depend on how well everything is balanced.

Jim,
You may want to fill the holes in with JBkwik WELD. Wait for it set up somewhat and then pour in the holes, so as not to have it sink into the gun, wiping off the excess. I've done quite abit of repairs with JBkwik and it works very well.

I saw this jewel in the flea market below the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. There were many Gurley's (US surplus they looked).
The starting price on the Wild was 250 Euros, without a box or tripod. I bet I could have bargained it down to 100E but I didn't have space or the inclination to bring it home. I didn't even look carefully enough to notice which model it is :-(, I didn't want to get to tempted!
The Wild was in the shop at 37-58-36.43N 23-43-26.72E
