Thank you , not a lot of mods really but more of clean up and tweaking, making it run like it should.

Members Bert03241 Posted February 26, 2023 Members Report Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) thanks I bought one about a year ago never opened it as I read a lot about how hard they are to get working right. So I thought I just sell it. As I don't have a lot of mechanical experience and no patience for things that aren't right out of the box LOL maybe I put it together and try it Edited February 26, 2023 by Bert03241 Quote

I had a lot of pointers to help me from the guys on here and THANKS to each of you for the help.

Members Tugadude Posted February 26, 2023 Members Report Posted February 26, 2023 Very nice and a beautiful sentiment on the vow book. I'm sure they will be treasured. Quote
Members TomE Posted February 26, 2023 Members Report Posted February 26, 2023 Great looking work with lots of character from the start. Would be fun to leaf through these at their 50 year anniversary, but that will be for someone else to do. Quote
