That's a beautiful machine but maybe it's safer that you're dropping it off first? Allegedly, Macybaby is well-armed and if she saw that machine, she might not let you leave with it! I've noticed she's a little covetous of machines.

Have a great trip. My only caution is that as you pass from New Mexico and enter into Texas, slow down a little. The speed limit suddenly drops a little and the Texas troopers are notorious for pulling over out of state vehicles to bolster the coffers of Texas.

Travel safely.

Napa John - Steve knows that's too old for my tastes! We've traded machines a few times when he's gotten a newer one that didn't quite fit his collection, or I've gotten an older one that didn't quite fit mine.

However, I am a sucker for a pretty cabinet!

yeah, I didn't think Macybaby would wanted but it sure is something amazing to behold with your own eyes.

besides it's already committed to another museum

First, congratulations on the wedding and trip! Just wonderful! Sorry to be in Florida when you will be in Jamestown. We have a summer place near Jamestown and it would be fun to meet up. Wondering why you picked Jamestown. Not that it's any of my business. Maybe you'll visit the Lucille Ball Museum? Or Chautauqua Institute, if it's open for the season. Nice area. Enjoy your trip!

Safe trip. It would be Very hard to let that beauty leave my hands regardless of the price. Once in a lifetime machine for sure.

A beautiful machine for sure!!! You did an absolutely fabulous job on bringing the beauty of that whole set up out for all to see. No wonder the museum wants it. Hope they put your name on a tag somewhere to indicate who did all the work on it.
Guess your packed and ready to go .... or maybe already on the road. Either way, have a wonderful wedding and very safe and scenic trip. Guess we will all be watching for photos. Personally, I am dying to see your wedding attire!
