Hi and congratulations on the 85!
I am also rescuing one.
Check in the 230s help thread. Good people in there. No need to read the full thing, just get a feel for the last few pages.
There is also the Vault to check into.
Here's a link to the Vault-

Also wanted to mention that the typical issue with the chain coming off is indicative of bad swing arm bushings. There are bearing kits available.
Also a bad chain or poor adjustment will do it, but if the swing arm is wiggling all around it will ruin the chain and make it impossible to get a good adjustment anyways. So do check the arm is tight in its motion.
