I'm back North so I won't have village tinker to call

if I have parts left over after

assembling. That's the scary part, lots of little parts and screws.

The is a theory of 'mechanical reproduction' if you have parts left over, then if you take the device apart and put it back together often enough, you will have enough parts to build another one. I did this with Mustangs started with 7 ended up with 8!!!
