This machine is going to the same museum that my MOP Grover and Baker went to. They have a brick and mortar museum and the proper environment to preserve this exceptionally rare machine. Less than two dozen known to exist)
On the one hand, proud to have been a part of the Franklin's journey. On the other hand, ohcrapohcraohcrap, it was in the back of my car and in my garage and I fiddled with it! So glad I didn't break anything.
The restoration guy did a fantastic job. It is almost unrecognizable. And Shiny.
Have a good time with the new machines!
