    I sometimes find irons without the cabinets for about $25 here in NY. Folks slap on a crude top and charge $100 + downstate. Sadly the machines and cases are scrapped. Haven't been able to rescue any.

    Wish it was the same here in the west coast. Hopefully one of these days I can find some.

    Let me know how it goes Rodney. I see that there's a hole but might be challenging to add a boss for motor but your idea is great and I will wait to see how you will do it.
