Great to hear from you, Jim. And it's good to see how well you're coming
with the Suburban. Gotta admit you threw me for a minute when I clicked on
your website and saw the "Selectric Typewriter Museum". Figured you were
building a Suburban out of typewriter parts. :>) Hope all goes well with
the project. Sure miss your posts when you go away to get your work done.
Best wishes,
