Another machine for the mantle

Finally got around to getting one of my latest finds on display upstairs.

It only took me 10+ years to find one of these.

I saw one of those in the early 1980's, in an antique shop in Howell Michigan. I believe it was there under consignment from Rick Frink who I met for the first time shortly afterwards. Price then was like $4,500, and I was making $5.00 per hour and had just started collecting. So, there was no way I could afford it. I saw one go in auction a little while ago for around $40,000!

Makes me wish I would have found some way to purchase that first one. Then again, I probably would have gotten into a need for money at some point and sold it. That $4,500 might as well have been $40,000 to me back then. Still, I'd love to have one, and if I ever hit the Lotto, I sure will!
