Great score!!
Am I correct that a "Bump Shop" be an auto body repair? Never saw the term.
Thanks!

Actually, the "Bump Shop" is where Ed is going to wind up if he keeps grabbing nice machines out of Michigan!  biggrin Cool laugh

Just kidding Ed!  Of course, Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day  .  .  .

As Kilroy pointed out that is an auto body repair or collision shop as many are called here in the Motor City.  My dad always called it the bump shop so that is where I picked it up.  Must be a Michigan term.

lol.. What? Where? How?   laugh

Actually, I'm giving back to Michigan, and having that machine you sold me (the generic 110) being restored (as we speak I think) by one of the best in your state.  So, as much as she's been good to me, I'm paying her back  smile

Although as of late, MI is a little dry with the quality of machines (that I'm noticing) and OH, NY are raising the bar for good finds (for me at least)

I'm actually working on getting 2 machines at the same time (from different sellers) from a state that I've never bought from before.  I have a deal done with one guy, but the other is humming and hawing, and unless I can get both (they are just 30 miles apart of each other) I'm not doing the long drive that it is just for one machine.

IF I get them, I will post my find here.  Although I can't pick up anything until my large screw comes out of my ankle from my broken leg, which comes out this week FINALLY!

Thanks for the clarity. We have not bump shops in the Pacific NW.
Dent repair, "restorers" etc.. more than you can shake a stick at :-)

Great Score Tim...

I am one of the other Members who has one too.. and it was funny i had a long conversation with a guy at the chicago show who restored stoners ,he even makes the reverse screen printed glass, and he was doubting the existance of them.. I told him i have one and konw of a few others...

I may have him make up the glass I need for mine as it's two peices ... so if you ever need a set for the stoner jr with gum wheel.. let me know maybe we can get a package rate?

Nice pickup!
