dumb question...do they pick up at your home?
No, you have to take to the bus station, and they must have a station at the arrival point. Packages are handled much easier than the major shippers.

Thanks everybody. I was so excited. I had everybody looking for a FW for me and I was going to surprise them, but instead I got surprised in a bad way. The seller advised me he has a no return policy but is welling to swap it out when he gets another one. He said when he gets another I am to send the white FW back then he will send me another one. Feeling uneasy about that, I opened a claim with PayPal. The seller has 10 days to respond. I was advised not to do anything with the machine until I hear back from PayPal.

Here's the pics!! The Morse Apollo 6400. I just got her in from outside, so she'll have to warm up before I can really check her out.
I think I'll call her Kitty, because she purrs.
Not bad for $20. Can't even eat out for that!

New to me Morse Apollo 6400
