Those don't show up everyday. Amazing that it is working. Good looking machine even though it needs a little TLC |

Mark come on down, I am still in the middle of restoring 10 WP BD machines. Four are done with six more in pieces, I have been working on them almost every weekend. I can't believe how many new and good used parts I have pulled together for this project. I have been taking pictures and will post some of the progress. John. |

Hey Rick your machine is beautiful.How did you get the knobs to look so good?Mine are horror movie knobs.Your water level looks a little high in the picture you might want to lower that a tad. |
