And if you haven't, already, I suggest you make SURE it is cleaned off, put
it in a couple of Hefty-bags, and put it in an attic or unused storage-room
in the house, cause, in 20, it will be "rare" and mind-bending! If only I
had saved all the "old junk" I ever had, about 1/3 of it would now be
valuable antiques! I DO have a number of PET's, several of which are running
my small machines, even today, and I have three TIMES that many "in pieces"
about, waiting for a new pack of Hefty bags for that very purpose! (Anyone
want one??? Send $$!!!) Jan Rowland, Troll
