What a great find. She looks so clean and shinny. Never anything as nice in the resale stores in Southern California.

So glad I did...
Here is my new girl....she doesn't have a name yet. And she was a bargain...only $124.
I still have to look up her birth year...she is a AL series. She is in excellent condition, case only has a couple of nicks. Looks and smells so much better than the one I already had....
I think she's a keeper...

I know virtually nothing about these machines, only what I read and see online. However, my local thrift shop has one very similar to yours, in a cabinet and they are asking 50.00. So if anyone out these lives near the Pottstown PA area I will gladly give you directions to the store and their hours so that you can check it out. If anyone wants, I can take pics with my phone and message them to you. Let me know what you need from the machine as far as info to identify it and I will check for you. If anyone wants info just send me a PM.
