The Franklin was the machine the boys all wanted to try. DH cut the top out of the Franklin table - it was icky - then he put that part on a box frame. Then he painted it. The table was coming apart other wise - it was painted white and not a good job either. The black was an improvement and set off the machine very well. This will go on a display shelf in my shop. Or maybe somewhere kids can test out machines. They also liked the Vindex Special. Some kids wanted to try all the machines. Some stuck with one. Some didn't come near. Some parents were real happy because the kids aren't allowed to touch the machine at home.
