[GreenKeys] WTB: Model 32

[Joe Clanin]

Rick (and anyone else that may be interested),

There's a 19 for sale somewhat near you in Whitefield, ME. It's in good
cosmetic shape, but with a bit of a mismatched paint job. The seller is
asking way too much but is open to offers. It's been listed for quite a
while, and there's a platen handle to boot!

There's also a 14 reperf in pieces. No affiliation with seller, etc. My
apologies for the platform it's listed on. I have not contacted the seller.
