Asto Jerry's reference to the "pal" visiting the JK-MK6 and MkI-124 "Julia",that visitor is none other than my MkII-134, "Shararyah" (the former Pindertron). No, we haven't divorced, Jerry (with assistance from the lads at Streetly)has graciously agreed to undertake the process of restoring "Sharayah". Maybe she'll come back with some special mojo after hanging out with herEast Coast sisters!    Frank Samagaio San Diego CA

Greetings Gang, Yep, it's official. I'll be restoring the cabinet and
electro-mechanicsof Frank's Pindertron in the cooler months of
New England (heck, they're ALL cooler!).  #134 will get the same
TLC as my prev.projects .  Many of you have prob. seen my work
in Philly-2001and KL/KM have seen "Julia" this past March.

Work/storage spacehas already been arranged,supplies ordered.
Will be a full-blownversion of  4-days' work in 2001 sorting-out
the electronicsof Chris Dale's Wake-O-Tron. Chris was our guest
that weekendin which we received a whopper of snowstorm.

The "special mojo"might be "The White Eagle of the North, etc " ,
which still sendsa shiver of nostalgia up my arms after 34 years.
"Sharayah" willdefinitely see the White Eagle of the North, and
the "browns,reds,and golds of autumn....." .
