Good luck! I see that the owner of an older local Aztec has his price down
to "Best offer over $22,000

I've now had the pre-purchase and apart from a few minor things the main
issue seems to be that the right gear leg is slightly higher than the
left.
The engineer thinks the oil has leaked around the seal and its frozen in
place, but isn't a killer on the deal. I'll get the current owner to
rectify
this with new seals before sale.

The compressions are reasonable with the left engine having a couple of
cylinders in the mid to high 60's, but I expected this with the engine
having 2100 hours on.

I'm looking at purchasing an early (1960) Piper Aztec. I would like to
know what should be checked and what the real gotchas are on this age of
aircraft.

Thanks,
