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  ???

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

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.
