Nanamoms, it's a model 127.

chips88, you did the right thing! (In MY opinion!)

That's how I feel about this machine http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/atq/3201313313.html

However, I am not up to the task of stabilizing the corrosion on the aluminum, and filling in the damage with filler, then re-doing the paint job. I hear some people do this and then re-sell the "custom hot-rod paint job" featherweights on ebay.

That might just be a thread, but it sure looks like the pillar is cracked/broken!

It's a cobweb. If you look closely, you can see the shadow of the web on the pillar, but I must admit, I had the same thought at first, and had to do a double-take.

That 127 is overpriced by about $85 in my opinion. I would call the condition fair...certainly not "beautiful". To each his own.

That poor wee bairn of a FW has sat somewhere very wet, she's been forgotten and unloved.
