National Two Spool
I just got back from stopping by the Centralia Goodwill. I never expected to see one there but there is a National Two Spool in great condition with the spool can in place sitting there for $189.00 before tax. This is one of the few occasions where I've wished I had a cell phone camera with me. I didn't check all the wood on the treadle. What I saw looked to be in good shape. Someone had the belt on it wrong and the top was jammed so I couldn't inspect the top thoroughly.
I can't do a thing about the money but if someone wants to arrange payment I can pick it up for them. It's only a couple miles from my house.

No, I think that is in PA. I grew up in NJ and am pretty sure the fires were from mines in Centralia, PA. If I remember right (don't count on that!), people had to move out of the town and some didn't want to leave. Hmmm, I need to go look that up.
Edited: Just looked it up and apparently all the properties were condemned and as of 2010, there were 10 people who were allowed to stay but once they died, their property also would be condemned and turned over to the state via eminent domain. Very sad.
Sorry Rodney for going off on this tangent. Glad you are on the west coast Centralia.

Rodney, I wish I could, too, but there are two things I don't have (1) the money and (2) the room! LOL! I guess we're all in the same boat at some time or other. It's too bad -- one hates to let something like that go!
