Interesting Facts: The machine has a dealers tag from The Knight-Campbell Music Co. Denver, Colorado. It also has many record catalogs and extras that were stamped with the Knight-Campbell Logo.

That machine is spectacular, Bob. Thanks for sharing. I feel humbled, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Even my wife said wow. That doesn’t happen every day.

Stunning!
I'm still working on the one I bought at Union, I was finally able to pick it up in July, but surgery on my wrists has prevented me from getting it finished up. I know some of you saw the one I got. It was filthy, but mainly decent and it has been coming along nicely, but I won't steal any thunder here. More about mine when it gets finished later (whenever that ay be).

Circassian is so dramatic. It's like a swirled mixture of caramel and chocolate sauce. I think it's time for some ice cream. Lovely machine. Jerry

First-- I blame Jerry for the bowl of ice cream in front of me right now!
The XVI is beautiful!! I am working on the C. Walnut XVIII I posted info about a month ago. I can hope that it turns out as beautiful as your XVI. Thanks for posting.
