Hello. I have been a member for 15 years but this is my first post...This machine went from my GF to my F and now to me. I am 58 and I played it in my GF's basement when I was 6 so it's real and not some fake "Hoobajue" (sic). Homage to Chef...My GF had a small business in St.Joseph MO and told a few interesting stories. The handle has been repaired twice and 1 "break" was due to a some 1940's mobster playing it. He did "accounting" type stuff and had eccentric shall we say clients... I took many pics and if anyone wants to see it I will try and post. I am a video man, not pics. Thanks, Charles.

Thanks. My GF was a pretty straight arrow. Not really one to embelish, so I buy it.
I will try to upload the pics. Thanks, Charles.

Ohhhh I didn't notice that they were on the inside. Obviously the reason for the hole! Thanks.

Worked perfectly about 10 years ago and has been in the a/c so no reason to think otherwise. It is totally unrestored and original as far as I know. Zero changes to it since 1972 that I know cuz I am old (sigh). I wanted to show it in the wild so to speak, hehe..Thanks, Charles.
