How hard is it to replace this stuff if and when it fails? Is this something that would be done by TM or could a handy, industrious guy do this?
That to me is normal look of an older TM. The staples were not coated or stainless from the factory. The linear strips are available from the TM factory. Order by the foot and are inexpensive. The seals are also available. Most of the time, you can clean them with a soft scrub product with bleach. It can be done by a reasonable DIY. Tedious work but can save a lot of money than paying someone else to do it. Issue is locating a shop that understands the TM inside and out?
