Thanks, Marty. The serial number was my mistake. The AB occupied the 750,000 block, but for some reason my eyes registered 75,000 when I read yours! Congratulations on such an early number!

Interesting. I bought it probably 25 or 30 years ago. I guess I must have reported it to you in the past, or does your database go that far back, to a previous owner?

Hi Chuck,
I guess I forgot to leave my name. It's Dan Zalewski. Also, Thank you for all the information that you are compiling - I've learned a lot already and look forward to the article.

Some of the machines I do keep the original owners listed if I know it, Yours just had your name listed.
I started this project in 2016.

Thanks Dan. Hoping to shake more machines out of the woodwork before the article. Lots of missing numbers that may help fill in blanks for machines like the AF and AD
