I know this isn't the right section, but I had to show off my new toy!!! I'm Loving My Franklin!!!
It's an SD-10, 3 pedal x 4 knee lever. Emmons set up. Well, it's not new, but like new.

The woman I bought this from said her husband passed away and while he was alive it NEVER left the house, EVER. He bought it new in 1985, Serial Number #93. It doesn't have a scratch on it!!!! And the finish is like brand new. I was totally amazed. And the case is a nice plush case and also is like brand new. And it has a stereo pickup and the Franklin Stereo volume pedal to go with it.

It also has a Woody Woodell case, which is in A-1 shape. I actually didn't know anything about them, but John W. pointed it out to me on the phone today. Nice chatting with you John.

This ones' a keeper for me!! I've been waiting a long time for one of these.

Just some awesome eye candy to say the least!!!!!!

So now I'll have to sell my ZUM SD-10. It is Emmons Set Up with 4 pedals x 6 knee lever. It has the P4 Franklin Pull on the 4th Pedal. If anyone is interested now before I list it on the forum contact me via email at alvesel@mchsi.com or phone 218-254-2082 or cell 218-969-0739. I will email pics to interested parties. I WILL LIST ON THE FORUM LATE SUNDAY W/ PICS. Donation will go to the forum if sold.

It was on Ebay, but it didn't make reserve, so I didn't buy it on Ebay. I was in touch with the seller and he told me that if it didn't make the reserve price he had set, he'd sell it to me for a price we both agreed on prior to the end of the Ebay auction.

Al - which are you having more fun with - The Franklin or the GTO?

Just wondering.

Tom,
Boy, that's a hard one. I'm lovin' the ???? out of both of them for different reasons. Got them both in 2010, so I hope the rest of the year is as good. I've always wanted another GOAT since that was the first car I bought when I got out of the Marine Corp (Semper Fi!!) in 1972. So it took me 37 years to get another one. The Franklin I've wanted for a few years now and finally got one that did't break the bank. I got a good deal, but not a great deal on it!!

But txs for asking on both. Did you get snow last night? We got around an inch. But it will all melt today.

Al

Al's is a close "relative" of my Franklin as my D-10 is the exact same color.
