      Thank you sir . This thing is going to take some serious cleaning up   
   , it's been in a shed for I believe the guy said 50 years ... since his   
   Granddaddy passed anyway . But knowing that the motors all run is a   
   major thing .   
      Did I mention that I also scored a 15" Lodge cast iron skillet for 15   
   bucks ? In great shape too , no rust at all .
