It's quite a collector's piece, best I can tell there are perhaps less then 9 surviving model Bs. The model B has wings on each side of the facade with hand made carvings. The wings were beyond salvage so I had to reproduce new ones. I carefully steamed off all the original carvings to transfer onto the new wood. One the back of one portion of a carving that was glued down I found written in pencil: "Made By D. Wralla". Obviously a hand carver in the facade department. This is a very exciting find on machines like this. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
