[SEL] O.T.: In-ground auto hoist (could be used for lifting engines)

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Larry,
         Seems that Globe Lifts is still in business. SVI claims to have 
"parts" available. Give them a try at:

Who knows, you may get lucky!
         Dave
PS, Great pictures--they bring back good memories!
