Maybe they didn't run it at all
Look at the close up of "Visi-matic," pic 11, and click to blow it up. See the lettering on the release bar. It's perfect. Every other machine I've seen had fading. My 66, a year younger than this beauty was a lightly used machine and its lettering was faded. The only way the release bar could avoid contact with hot sudsy water is if you didn't use the machine.
This is the most beaufiful Visi, I've even seen, and the Turquoise is spectacular.
Mikey and friends, this is the find of a lifetime. Why is it so quiet over there? Hope you're all canoodling to get it.
