This popped up on CL last night. Called the guy this morning and he had already talked to someone else. He said let me find out if he is coming and I will call you back. Called back an hour later and said he couldn't get an answer so if I wanted it come and get it. So I did.
It's a Federal 17 in great shape.
You can pinpoint the manufacture date down to a three year period even without the serial number. Anyone want to take a guess?
Anybody know what his little device is? I have only seen it on a few models.
After leaving there we dropped into a small antique shop and found this little Model 14 A2. Dates between 1963 and 1976. Bad wiring and was dirty so they thought it had a bad motor. They had merely wrapped the wire a couple of loops around the positive post.. Bad contact. Cleaned the contacts and put a connector on the wire and it runs very smooth and quite. Will probably put this one up for sale. It had two domes; amber and a red one. The amber one needs some TLC but no cracks, should clean up just fine. The red one is almost good as new. When I first saw it the domes were stacked and I thought it was a horizontally split dome.. I was excited for about 2 seconds... Lol..
Good day of hunting and it did not hurt the wallet at all !
