[SEL] Buzzin Wood with 7hp Economy

Wed Feb 8 18:06:23 PST 2006

Hi Peter,
  Yup,   I live just a couple hours North of Luke and it is 11 degrees F. here right now.

  I was so excited last year at the local Buckley, Michigan engine show.  There was a beautifully restored Economy saw rig like Luke's sitting across from my display.  I didn't see anyone over there for almost the whole show.  I was told it was for sale and I had the cash ready to go when the guy did show up.  I was told the guy was asking $1700 for it and I wasn't going to dicker, just hand it over.  Turns out that is just what the guy told someone it was WORTH, He wouldn't sell it for any price.  He was 82 years old and his father had bought it new.

  I gave him my card anyway 8>))

  So close it fely, but it turned out to be just a dream I had for a couple days. 8>)))
