Here's progress report on my Hexaphone. My rotator surgery and the cool weather made it difficult to do much refinishing but the last month as been fine. I still need to make a back for the cabinet and then I can mount the sign board but I'm ready for the mechanism. Jerry Blais

Very nice machine Jerry. You certainly know how to bring them back to live another day (or century).
