0 friday and left with a $2.00 car duster, O'well there's ebay and the BIG AUCTION coming up at the end of june, save my money for that

------------------

Most of the deals went on Thursday during set up, so if you did not have a dealer pass you probably missed out. Nonetheless, many nice items could be found on Friday. For example a Sunset clock and a Signal Diesel pump plate. I really felt sorry for the A-38 that had been burned in a fire! I saw several before pictures.

that A-38 was toast and it was priced at $150.00, wished I had seen the sunset clock. Nice fleetwing sign for $400.00

------------------

Mike Slama had a beautifully restored Tokheim 36B clockface for $5000 and it sold. Don't think his Mae West did though. A very nice restored Wayne narrow body 60 was priced for $3500, reduced to $2950 and one person talked him into $2500 but didn't come back. (clock face) The burned up A-38 ended up selling for $20. The Wayne 60 I thought about buying didn't sell so I may take a run to Idaho to pick it up for $950. I'll see if I can sell my unrestored A-38 first.

Only bummer was the cold I picked up by being in the draft one cold day. It was great talking to all of the pump guys.
