Yes! A big Valentine of Gratitude to the Members who tirelessly search the internets for machines that they have no intention of buying, and for which they receive no personal gain but are thnking only of other people. That is a class act. Over the course of the next couple weeks, am going to show the joy they’ve brought to me and what I’ve done with the machines they've found, giving thorough back stories for each one. Would like to invite everyone else who has benefitted to do the same if you get the chance..
First, Thanks to Jeff Retroguy for this, long, longed -for dream machine, a 1965 Lady K “Fingernails.” For years and years I wanted a keyboard having used one in a home I rented for two years. Then when I saw the 65,—Paul’s— I was smitten, preferring it over all others. When Jeff posted this, I went right after it, but it was a really long haul getting it here. The owner, a totally affable guy named Joe, bought it because it was so amazing looking, according to him. He bought it for the “look” of the 65, a budding collector perhaps. But then he needed money, and decided to sell it, and joked that when he gets rich, he’ll want to buy it back. The shipping horrors I’ll save for later, but this machine has a maneuver that drives me crazy with delight: an agitated fill during the cool down, not to mention the fact that it is a suds, double heaven.
