[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt TT271B / FG

[Ron Kolarik]

Okay guys this is a local pick-up for me. I'm out of machines, didn't have 
the
room for them, this might fit the available space. How's the spare parts 
situation
on the Kleinschmidts?  I don't see the reperf listed yet but maybe the 
seller
would do a package deal.....not going to spend a fortune on this stuff.
