I love your work Terry!
No frills - just as it left the factory!
You even drilled the holes for the linkage support!
I'm gonna have to get a machine or two to you.
Nice Job!
P.S. Looks like a green medallion - didn't 81b's have a white medallion?
Maybe it is really a "C" model  '<img'>

Terry,
          Outstanding job on the 81  !!!!  Something about these machines when they are brought back to life, just gives the restorer a feeling that is hard to explain, pride and accomplishment I reckon. I don't know if it's because a lot of these machines were what my parents used as teenagers or what, but it does the trick. Again, keep up the excellent work !!!!        Tony

I'd be in heaven if one of my projects came out 1/4 as good.
Awesome work Terry!

Hey Terry,
Doing a little organizing around here in anticipation of being able to start moving stuff into the new addition soon.
I have an extra light bar for a 110.
Still looking for the four gasket retainers.
I think I have a couple, but not sure I have all four.
I seem to recall one of the 110's missing some.
I know some of the 6-case Vertical's had a light bar, but most did not.
I f you want it, PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you.
