Hey Jack, thanks for the info and the link.. I LOVE the accessories on that add.
It's good to know that it may be a contender for classic status one day. It certainly hearkens from an era when things were built to last, and as I was saying to Grumpy, it still does a good job.
I will give it a freshen up for now to stop the decay, and will try to keep it as close to original as possible so it may remain of interest to a collector one day.
