    Default Look what I found at the 1/2 price sale....

    This 66-16 was marked 100.00. I loved it and would of paid that, but $50 is so much better. I just got her home and haven't cleaned her yet. She was born in 1952.
    I was looking at it and this very nice elderly gentleman said that he had just donated it. It was his wife's. He said I looked so happy he knew it would be loved. How cool is that? Yep, I am teary eyed, again.
    By the way, my hubby says he is going to ground me from here. You are such a bad influence. LOL!!!!

    My 66-16 lives in a cabinet similar to yours. But it doesn't have the accessories and it's not in nearly as good a shape.
    You got a really nice set up there. What are you going to make with it?

    I was made in 52 too and I'm not in that good of shape.
