Saved from the scrapper!
Good news everybody! Brainard picked up the KitchenAid today - lord knows how he'll be getting it out of his car again, but he's got it. Jackie's going to be in the Carolinas soon, too, so this should be migrating north shortly.
I've got to say a public thank you again to Brainard for helping me with this - but you know, folks here on this site will do just about anything to help save a vintage machine from becoming a Kia.
And just for the record, if anyone here ever needs help getting a machine in this neck of the woods, please let me know!
