Welllll,
I finally had to face reality with seven machines in my garage and shed and no time to work on them.....finally decided to clear out space and put both of the Vendo 39s on e-bay.  Both sold to a gentleman in New Hampshire who will pick up my babies this weekend.  Both were project machines needing parts and to be put back together....ohh well, at least I should have enough now to start bugging Eric at Global Compressors about a compressor for my Westinghouse WC-44sk.

But the pain!!!  Ohhhhh the pain!!!

Sorry, just had to rant!

Hi Eric

saw those on Ebay. If only I was a few thousand miles closer. Guessed you'd be busy with work as you've been a bit quite here for a while. Well, have to keep the wolves from the door.

Take Care

Yeah, work is very busy.  The shipyard is gearing up for sea trials in December.  This is where they prove to the Navy that the ship is built to specs and all systems work.  We'll be putting FARRAGUT through her paces for about a week.....in December....in the North Atlantic.  So not only do I get to work the latest propulsion system designs the Navy has to offer but I get the added pleasure of watching a bunch of landlubbers getting sick....oh joy.
