Thanks all for the kind welcomes, offers, and referral!

Steve and Don if I were closer I'd certainly be interested, but unfortunately can't make those drives

I had a nice chat with Paul and he gave me some additional resources to read up on. I'm not sure one of his project Model 15's is in my current budget, so if anyone knows of a machine (in California) in need of rehoming let me know!

Thanks again,
Andrew
