    Wow... is that unrestored?? The decals are so bright! There was a W&G at the local antiques mall (for $650) and it is not even close to yours.

    Unrestored. And now where near that price. Hope your finger isn't giving you fits. Maria.

    My finger not so much. Was able to take off the splint and unhinge 2 fingers. Rewrapped and it looks pretty good. Don't get stitches out until next Wed.

    QB, I type and get less than half of the letters. Words even go vertically instead of horizontally. Cursor does a weird blinking & this is why I didn't post much initially. I am on digest, and I work off a regular computer. Hubby did update and checked. Can't find anything wrong! Just took 15 min to get this message done!!!

    Maria, how frustrating. Hope your finger heels quickly and nicely.

    Leon, you can bring the Wilcox & Gibbs to any of the Colorado Get-togethers. Courtney uses his to make quilts. Cheryl just got hers and really likes it.

    Maria, FB does that to me too. On two different 'puters. I quit, and 1/2 hour later and it usually works. Go figure.
