Yeah, 1buckie got it! The swap with new member Michael went without a hitch; he got his red MT and I got my '79 black 18". More pics to come today as I get it together. It will sit in the corner of my place here in Chicago, along with the NIB Go Anywhere I just picked up. Trust me, neither one is going anywhere. Saw that post for a NIB 22.5 yesterday, but can't pull the trigger this time. There will be others...

Flip-side. Note the metal bowl handles, and the inconsistency in the illustration; three holes in the bowl vents on the exterior view and four on the interior view. And this proves that many buyers are idiots and can't match the "B" leg to the "B" socket to save their life. Keep in mind this came in the A-code (1979) box, but the sheet is dated 1977.
