Hi Greg. Someone recommended Manny to me and he said he loves working on older machines. Said he got his start on unimatics and speed queens. His wife works in the office next to his work area and they both like to run my machines when they are being repaired. Yes, he certainly is a Godsend.

Lordy, I could use a Dr. Manny over here. It's not that I don't have the ability ... I just don't have the time!

Ross-Dr. Manny looks just about how I had him "envisioned" in my mind. Yes, he is really a find. A sure cry different than what we both experienced over here in the Palm Springs vicinity once upon a time, right? Look forward to seeing more pics.

Hi Glenn. Usually, Manny takes time on my machines. My '47 Bendix is sitting there and will probably be there for a few months. I never like to rush him but did ask Manny to make an exception with the Thor because it is so special to me. As you can see, he started working on machine right away.

Ross I am sure that you felt like a Dad with his child at the doctors office!! Here's hoping that it won't take Dr. Manny long to have the Thor running perfectly!! Terry

Hi Terry. Please check post I did earlier today. Roger came with me to Manny's shop. He had a great time.
I know you are getting ready for your move. Good Luck.
