The Survivors...

vendobaldtops, Pretty clean machines you got there.

Great looking original Survivors... Can't beat a clean original. wish I would have kept the orignals I had, but hadn't known much about machines when I had them and sold them off.
Still have a super Clean 44 original and a 39 clean original.
Maybe we should start a Survivors page in the photo album or on thread?
Just a thought

[vendobaldtops]

Thanks, guys...definitely a good idea to start a survivors thread here and in the photo album.  When I get some time, I snap shots of the machines individually.

Yes, another entire subject comes up about our finds.
Years of abuse and neglect on most machines makes a
restoration necessary so we can hide all the rust and
dents .
       A nice original has been used but not abused. It's been
kept out of the sun and has never had a re-paint.  There
should be some sort of point scale assigned to this classification
of machines.

I have to agree with MoonDawg; there's much more value to an original machine in pristine condition!

vendobladtops,
It's nice to see great examples of originals; especially more than one next to each other!
