DANG that is one nice machine. These combinations fascinate me.
There is a sad commentary with that picture. While I do not mean Jet ANY OFFENSE, and I am sure the modern machine next to it is nice, just look at the style that was in our appliances at one point. Why did this go away? One could say price, but I think consumers just don't value style anymore. People who do make/come to sites like this. We must be a tiny minority. This is true with cars too. I love to hear people tell me how "hot" their "tuner" Honda is. The reality is that most of our appliances, (and "tuner" Hondas) we buy now will end up in a landfill (dare I say that...I mean recycled) and Jet's vintage machine will continue to be collected and valued.
On a personal note, next month we get our new Neptune. I should be excited, but when we looked at it I found it about as exciting as looking at wood for the fence. That should not be how you feel when picking out major appliances.
Here's to style and saving the good stuff! Great job.
