Title: One for the Birdman
Post by: Jacko1070 on June 01, 2013, 10:38:40 am
Doing my weekly search of websites and came across this.  A nice English machine, which I'm sure Dave probably has, but seemed like a decent price at $275 on the Pehl's Trading site.  Needs some work and a key, but all original advertising.....................

Thanks for thinking of me.

I did indeed have that machine a while ago. Passed it on when I had to make some space.

If you fancy getting it yourself I'm sure I would have anything its missing. I might even be able lay my hands on some new decals.

If, in your searching you come across a Yellow Zeno Machine please let me know.
I have a very valuable piece of real estate in my room waiting for one.

Thanks again

Dave

I remember they were yellow.  I Goggled Zeno and hit images and a lot popped up.  Here's a picture.

Thanks.
I just Googled Zeno again and all I got were pictures of a Greek philosopher and some acne removal medicine. Odd.

My mistake.  Google Zeno gum and hit images for your search.
