Now that is just the kind of laugh I needed today!! I find it is the good bottle of wine that lightens the dull evenings, myself.
Anyway, I digress myself... So, let me say thank you, everyone, for your replies. I really like the look of this VV-50, but still being relatively new to this arena makes me hesitant to jump right in without a little knowledge from those with more experience.
I must admit, I was disappointed about six weeks ago when I found out that the person who had the mint VV-50 in the original travel case listed on CL would not ship, (see
http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... hilit=vv50); suffice it to say, I missed that opportunity.

I thought the needle tin in the lid was pretty unique myself, although my knowledge and experience in this area is admittedly quite limited.
I think it would make a nice addition to my blossoming collection, too, Mike.
While I don't think I will be taking it out to the lumber camp with me

I do believe it would be a lovely addition to afternoons or evenings on my sunporch, (with or without my bottle of wine -- or whiskey -- Lenoirstreetguy)!

I do think it would be a very fun portable to own, and hopefully I will!
Thank you again, everyone, so much.
