    Default Going on a road trip to Los Angeles to pick this beauty up

    Thanks to some great web surfing and a quick forward from JennB and I was the first responder to the ad for this AMAZING machine.

    This is a Howe Model B in it's original treadle. It comes with accessories and Manual!!!!!!

    I decided that although it will cost about $50 more to drive there and back than it would to just ship it, this way I have NO worries about it being damaged.

    It is my DD's Bday tomorrow (Wednesday) and she decided that this would be a fun road trip for her birthday weekend. (We will hit the LA zoo while down there)

    So, this means that the Howe Model B that I have now (head only) will be up on the chopping block to any interested parties...
