Ditto Bob. Looks fantastic. You are lucky to have the owners manual. Do you have the binders...???. They should look like this.....

Thanks for the comments and the picture of the album configuration.
No, there were no albums. Being that the key and owners manual were there I was hopeful they'd be with it, but I'm very happy nonetheless. Maybe I can obtain a set some day. Anyone have some spares?!! :)

Condition issues aside....the one binder that is very elusive is the 10" "P" (seen in the bottom right). I assume because it was only use in the 17,18 & 130 (that I know of).

We too were lucky to have the manual come with our machine..... :D.

That's interesting about the "P" album. I have only three orphan albums and one of them is a 12-inch "R".
What model would that have gone to?
Thanks again.

The 12" "R" was on the bottom in a 16 and it's replacement the 125.
