Terry, got to tell you this for what it's worth. Don't have any idea how old you are, doesn't make any difference. Tell you what I worked on a good many of those old pieces of iron. My thinking has always been that when you really think about it, they were made simple so that if you had a little common sense you could work on them and if the need arose you might even be able to make something to keep it working.

I think those old ones are going to be around a long, long time and get better with each passing decade. Nuff said.
