Thanks for the encouragement, guys! You are right, Jeff, that's why I was so excited when I found it! I had fully planned to use your Moon Pie machine as a model and make one for my wife. She is a Moon Pie nut and was actually excited about the idea! (A rare reaction for an additional machine in the collection!) I think our local "moneybag" collector snagged it out from under me...he buys, restores, then tries to get 3 times what they are worth on Craigslist. Don't know for sure, but have a hunch. Doesn't really collect, and not part of this group either. Oh well, as others said, something better will come along.
