Well my buddy and SMC member Vendobaldtops thinned out his collection of 81's. I think he had 5 of them?? Anyways, since I had helped him out in the past with picking up machines, he gave me first shot at them. Fair price for a complete nice machine. I plan on having it resotred so the shape of the paint did not matter, it was the shape of the body that sold me on this one. I'm happy but if you ask my wife you will get a whole differant story.

2006 was a good year for collecting...problem is, I have no space. I am moving these machines and working on some trades in order to move into collecting nice original machines...I hope to have one in a few weeks so I will post a pic if / when I get it....here's a pic of the 81 machines from a slightly different view....

Here is the story behind the machines. It was an 81B type of year....
- Picked up missing parts 81B last spring locally. Working on trade with that one.
- Paid too much for an amateur restoration of an 81B from an old dude who wouldn't budge on price....machine was clean, complete, and cooled great...had a slightly rusty pan though and deserved a complete restoration. It will get that now. Machine was in Napa Valley.
- Picked up another 81B locally from guy who never got around to restoring it in November. He had some other machines too.
- Picked up clean and straight 81B last month thanks to Victor on craigslist.
Moved some parts around and sold Victor a solid 81B, knowing he would get it restored right without a rust bucket on hand.

Nice.... thanks for the photo of the machines... for some reason I just think that looks cool... would look cooler if it where in my backyard!! but Oh well, good to see the photo. Wish I had someone near me that I could share this passion with and go look at machines and such.. Anyone want to move up to northern WI!!!! My Friends, just dont' Get it..... Oh well, more for me, when they turn up.

Signguy,
Looks like your collection is doing just fine!
Yeah, it is cool that Victor is local and we have become pretty good friends...but instead of being out on the road junk'in for machines on the weekends, we spend more time on the phone coming up with strategies to appease our wives!
