Jerry, that is a nice piece of nostalgia. I have built some of Brett's machinery kits that he has produced from the C.H.B. lines and they are beautiful kits to build.

Dave, $10.95 might not have been cheap in 1982 but it is a steal now. ;D

Philip Marty is doing just fine, he retired.
Moved out of Fl. and now lives in Tn.

He just started a sawmill in 3/4" scale.
Maybe I can get him to post some pictures of what he is doing.
