    The cabinet you showed is very nice. Did you buy it?

    oooooh Charlee, nice!

    Didn't know about shopgoodwill.com. Have thought about posting a craigslist ad for vintage machines. I bet there are tons lurking in closets, etc. just waiting for a new home. :thumbup: :thumbup:

    the *really* nice part is that I got the 1st Damascus for $6.00 plus $15 shipping...and this one is coming to me for $7 plus $14 shipping....so $42 got me these two machines that were originally sold by Montgomery Wards. :)

    Really nice part? How does that happen? I have been thinking I need to go to the Eastern side of the states to get REALLY good deals but I know you are in the West with me. I am flabbergasted :roll: :roll: :roll:

    I think your term is 'drooooooooooooooool'. Congratulations! My hat is definitely off to you and all the rest of you who get those really, rreally good deals. :D
