    Lol. What a mess! BUT since it runs well it will be even more special when you get it all cleaned up. And think how much better you will know your new baby? Cheers to you. :)

    Why does anyone let a machine get in that condition? I'm glad it found a good home that will bring it back to life. Pitiful.

    I would notify ebay about the condition and send those pictures unless you saw the mess it was in before you bid on it.
    If you want to keep her then clean her up and she will be great to you.

    Sure hope this purchase can be reconciled. It's a terrible looking machine which looks as though it may have been in a flood. (or tornado?)

    I would clean and sand it down and repaint it..it maybe worth it..if not it will look better then you got it so you can resell it, and mabe get more than you paid ..or it maybe better to keep it.. see what is what first..
