Sounds like a great buy so far. Congratulations.
Your statement "top lever right but action a bit loose" suggests that the top bolt which engages the dolls head is not worn, but the compensating screw in the front of the action knuckle may need to be turned inward a fraction of a turn. Weak, or even broken top lever springs are common in Lefevers too. If the action is tight when you hold the lever right, it may be a weak spring. I would start with a repeated application of a GOOD penetrating oil on the compensating screw, IF that's the problem, giving it lots of time to get into those threads that haven't been turned for 110 years. Kroil is over-priced junk, IMO. Patience, and a very good screwdriver bit that fits the slot perfectly are needed too. I've soaked 'em for as much a 6 months before getting them to move. Easy to bugger if you slip or break a bit or get impatient. Fortunately, yours will have the screw slot instead of being the older face spanner type.
