History
from records "She" was stored for several yrs, first in Texas, then SoCal. Acquired from a collector who had her in storage in MN where the owner had some good maintenance work was done. I don't think the enthusiasm was there to do next level work. Then She came to me. That's right, I refer to her as a She.
