All these old  rigs  are  great  fun.  They  all  have  some  quirks.
I  like  to   equate  them to  old  cars- like a Collins is a Caddy,  and  A 
  Viking  is a Dodge.  Heath-  like  a Ford,  B-W,  I  would  rank
about  a  Buick or  Pontiac.  Yu  get  the bugs  out  of  them  and  you  
got a pretty good  rig.  Russ.
