Very nice Peter. I'm not at all sure that an Ideale 90 could not have been original on a 1975 PX-10. I seem to recall the PY-10 introduced about this time was usually seen with 2001, but I think it quite possible than many PX-10's were still sold with Ideale 90 or Brooks Pro, as they had been in the early 70's. Nice build in any case.
