I will have a School Model for sale at some point, complete with horn and ready to go. The horn has been repainted a different green as the HMV green is difficult to match in a spray paint so I figured another "period" green might work better. I don't like black horns with oak and the red sends you mad apparently. I think some folks consider me mad enough already!

It's great to hear that you bought the machine, Steve! As I mentioned, it is a good performer and has a unique design as well, looking good either with the wood or the green tin horn.
