Leonard...

I helped Pat move this yesterday from his storage garage to his house.  You should know it sort of slipped out of our hands a little when unloading it from the truck.  It damaged the back side a little (you can't see it in these purposely angled pictures) and possibly rattled the guts pretty good.  I'm sure Pat will fix it so you'll never notice, but I wanted you to know.

Overall, its still a really nice machine and I'll buy it off you now at its new fair market price (-$).

OK...I'm a really bad liar, we never dropped it, and I'll still buy it off you!  Name your price...before it gets damaged any further!

Hurry!

Great, do we have to call you  "Jacobs-Bob"?  Doesn't have the same zing as Slider-Bob

Leonard,

Where did you get that machine? It looks a lot like one I picked up several years ago. It was sold to a good friend in Norwood.

Hello, Josh

  The Machine Came from Wisconsin . It was in a Boat House Owned by the Pabst Family . The guy i Purchased it from Has a Family Member Married to One of them .And He's been helping them Clean it out since there really has been no use of the boat house for 20+ years other then Storage

Now I got this Machine Nearly a Year ago and talked with Pat during the Hole deal & had It shipped from the Guy Directly to Pat .So other then Pictures I have not had a Hand On it .

But The GUY was GREAT . He Answered all my Questions Truthfully & Installed a Power cord to Check that It was Still Cooling (Yes) And Even took off Work Twice for it To be Picked Up .  I did Tell him what it was Worth in the Condition you see And I told him what i could afford With Shipping . He told me that it seemed i was Very Honest and and up frount and  Deal was Struck . You could not ask for a Better Guy !

I have His Contact Information And Promised a Picture To him when Pat Finished Making It Perfect .

That will look so good next to the Delf and the Seeburg W.   Can't wait to see it finished.
