only motors 1000001 thru 1007414 and that crazy French motor (14000-something) are sandcasts.

Now, if that 8 in your post was a mistype for a zero than you could be good. The definite 2 items that are readily identifiable that are "sandcast only" are the 9 holes for the clutch cover and the ridge-less motor number pad.

There were a few sandcast replacement cases with this stuff. There are also diecast replacement cases that have been re-stamped with numbers within the sandcast range.

Sometimes in life you're the dog, sometimes you're the tree. Life isn't fair and we're all assholes on some level or another. The best any of us can do is not leave our drinks unattended. image
