well well well well!
yet another one......this was a exceptional find! it is a 1978 Eureka ESP Branywine, all original! this machine was found in a little hole in the wall Hispanic thrift store, that i have never been in before......and i was there Friday right after this little 80 something year old man oped.....and i saw it siting there....and i asked how much....he said $12.00 (that is a GREAT deal. seeing how thrift stores here have been having a bad habit of either not selling, it or putting $40.00 on it) but to my luck i only had three dollars in my pocket....i didnt get it....and i figured if i comeback tomorrow i would be gone.....and probably beat like a egg and thrown to the curb to die......but i has to trust my theory of meant to be and wait till the next day....so i had go the the store that day so, after the store i went back the the little hole in the wall, and much to my surprise it was still there.....it was fate!...so i stanched that pecker up.....and gave it a good bath and service.....and it turned out to be in very good shape....and the bag alone was worth $12.00.....its still clean and glossy and does NOT have one rip or tear!........i got off so lucky with this....
