Are you a Jets Fan? I see that fabric in the background! I'm an old Broadway Joe Namath fan.
Great old machine too! You amaze me with what you do with OPJ (otherpeoplesjunk). In my house that is what it would be but in your hands it is a beautiful thing.

Thank you. Yes, I grew up in Western NY in the late 60's and was a #12 fan. Now it is more of a "too stubborn to change"

Dear Steve,
I would love to see these photos, but for some reason when I click on the link, it simply says "invalid". Is it possible to post them in the thread, the regular way?
Also and struggling with wondering what to do about my very rusty F & R , and will certainly appreciate knowing your advice for cleaning rust off of steel.
Thanks!
