found my Sun machine (s)

[austinsailor]

I've been looking for a Sun Distributor machine for maybe 6 months. None close enough, and most far aaway were priced so high as to not be practical. I've mentioned it here before.

 

Well, Sunday I found 3, that's right, 3 in the twin cities area. Drove up and back yesterday in a quick 1000 mile trip and now I have a little bit of a project, but everything is there to make one, maybe 2, good ones.

And I snagged it right out from under you guys in the Twin cities area's noses! 

 

Talking to the guy, I realized I screwed up, though. French lake salvage yard is nearby and I should have planned an overnight stay and a trip to the yard. Guess I'll have to come back.

Good score! I missed the boat on one a few years back.

I could have had one for free but I didn't have room for it at the time Wish I had made the room now. Can we make it a new rule anyone coming to the twin cities needs to make an effort to say hi? I'll be sure to post some goodies I get from French Lake now that you've left them for me

Ed, I would have, but it was an unscheduled, balls to the wall trip. Left 6 am, 3 pm in Stillwater, midnight back home, all trying to beat the rainstorms.

When the guy told be I could have it all for $150 I was all over it. I had other things I should have been doing. An unplanned 1000 mile trip in one day doesn't leave much time for socializing.

I go by Plymouthy's methods - if you want it, go get it, who cares how far!

I thought that rule has been in effect for several years now. I have said hi a couple of times over a good meal.

The first pro shop I ever worked in had a SUN machine like those, but it was a VW shop & they never used the thing.

 

Never even got to turn it on.

Completely understood. At least you left me the french lake stuff. Actually I just did something similar when we got the tractor. We were pretty close to Merle but no time to stop.
