Those without all the plastic cladding on the bottom are much better looking. But the weird guy in me wants the ugliest of them. I’ve found one that’s probably worth a look in town, just waiting for Uncle Sam to give me my money back…I can tell you one thing; if I hadn't already sold it, after your post, I'd be crushing it tomorrow.

I don’t. He pays me for having children. I’m just greedy and I want it now!You need to stop giving him a loan.
Diners Club? Is that card still around?I take Diners Club.
RIP Telly
Still there, not getting better.How's that persistent cough, amigo ? Better, I hope.
The plastic reservoir got brittle and crumbled around the gasket area. It's time to drop the $129 for a new one.Our 40 (?) year old Bunn at the ballpark needs a gasket about once a decade or so. Over the years, I think I've replaced every part except the housing. LOL It is very user servicable and parts are readily available.
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to buy NOS cars for the same cost after inflation adjustment?2000 Chevy Silverado short bed 4wd. 305,000 miles and still going strong. Wish I could buy another just like it that gets 40mpg.
Very cool T-D. I spent my day rebuilding the termite chewed mess that was underneath my back family room window. Tomorrow, I tackle the header over the window.Evening all
Got bored today, so I decided to make oversized magazine buttons for my Turkey guns. I have the Ed Brown complete versions on my SA and DW 1911's, but I wanted to save some coin and give myself a project at the same time.
An AR-15 grip screw is the same diameter as the Ed Brown button and only slightly taller. Combined with a smaller screw with a 6-32 thread pitch made for a winning combo. Did not come out perfect, but highly functional and it was more entertaining than the puzzle I was starting to work on beforehand.
No pics, but I drilled the center out of the grip screw head and cut the threaded portion off. Filed/sanded the top and bottom smooth along with filing/sanding the top of the factory mag release (removed the checkering). Blued it all and put some blue loctite on the threads for good measure.
