Just east of Ottawa and too far for me.

Original binders AND 100 records.

Whoever gets it, please post the story...

Oh, sure, Canada! And here I was for a minute thinking, how the heck did an 8-36 ever find its way to "just east of" Tbilisi, of all places...

Sweet deal, though, if your moose can pull it home through the snow.

That is WELL worth the price. Someone up there should grab it. Ron Sitko has back brackets for $70.00 for those.

Looks like a really good deal for someone who already has a spare set of books in decent shape.

Just curious, is this machine missing a grill that would be similar to the one found on an 8-35?

Yes, it's missing the grille, it would be the same grille as the 8-35

My moose is the shop, and my neighbor is currently borrowing my dog sled, or I'd have gone to get this.

And our national anthem is Oh...eh Canada, when sung properly you can barely hear the eh.

At least, it's singable. The melody of ours is an English drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven," by one John Stafford Smith. I guess it's easier to sing the high notes after you've had a few....

Somebody go get this! You will not regret the purchase-you will need some room for it, but it will be worth it. I absolutely love the sound of my 8-35, and it is virtually identical.

I didn't know this!?!
This drinking song was actually written before the national anthem?
