Title: Discovered a forest creature!
Post by: johnnyfizz on March 10, 2013, 08:52:38 pm
Actually the guy that I got this from did.He claims that he had to drag it quite some distance from where he found it abandoned,and left to be claimed back to mother nature.

Page 77 of Walters guide describes it pretty well, even the "serve yourself" ribbon.
Any idea why the tag would id this machine with a completely different model number?

Aha...good spot Tom,I just went right to the bible and was going off of the description of the DU-144.I should realize that this site is much more useful. Thank's

As for restoring it? not this baby, although I just may restore and re-purpose the door into a interior entrance door for someone's basement room/mancave. Add it to the long list.

You have found Bigfoot? Or is it the Abominable Snowman with that whitecap?
Great machines for the back porch for parties!
