I guess I'm odd (wo)man out. If you don't have room for it - don't buy it.

Darren,
I used Billy's tute to clean up my 66 Redeye and it came out beautifully.
What would we do w/o Billy??????????
I don't blame you for taking it in though. You're going to love it!! :D:D

You could get it, restore it using Billy's ideas, play around with it for a while, then sell it. Lots of people won't buy a thrift store machine for fear it won't work, but if you get it going and cleaned, a Craigslist ad will bring a buyer you can show it working.

I would have to buy it for that price. I have a 500 Rocketeer and I love it.
