This was the one that was posted on SMC a few weeks ago. 

BEAYOUNG (Brenda) bought it I think, but seller (Jim) had 2 of them.

Yup! I was lucky enough to get it bought. There are photos on another thread. There was a second machine that saw when we were there. Jimbo (the seller) said that he sold it to someone in Michigan and was delivering it to the buyer at the Chicagoland show. I wondered whether it was someone active on this forum? Does anyone know?

The machines were in mostly the same condition I thought. The one I didn't buy had a coat of red paint under the current coat of blue paint. It had some rust that looked to be more than surface rust on the bottom of the lower section. The one I bought doesn't seem to have that but we haven't begun the restoration process  yet either.
