Oh, this circle isn't very small. I've gotten several PMs from members who have drool-inducing Mac stuff, they just don't post about it. Trust me, they read our silly rants and know what's going on.
Now that I know that, I ain't selling any of my Macs... cause there are people simply hogging them and/or letting people pay out the ass for one, and worst yet, not letting anyone see them!!!
I know the 850 that I rebuilt is easily worth some serious money, but to me, it's not about how much it's worth... it's simply a piece of history, that should be shared with others by pictures, videos, or letting someone run it.
What's the point of having a nice collection of Macs if no one sees it? I have no intention of letting a Mac of mine go into some collector's hands, and never see or hear about it again. If I were to think of selling it (not likely...) it'd probably go to Mark or Aaron, some other good member here.
One example of a good collector would be Mark... he has just about every Mac I can think of, and probably a bunch more that I can't think of... and he actually lets us see them, whether in person, in a video, or in a picture...
Disclaimer: All that post their Macs and Mac stuff are exempt from this silly rant, as you post and we get to see said Mac item... instead of you holding it over our heads and not letting us take the blindfold off...
those that don't post their Macs and share some history sound kinda selfish to me... :msp_mad:
---------------------------------
The 790 has not been worked on today... ordered a set of snap gauges... hopefully in soon... in the meantime, I intend to clean the tins I have and then get the barn cleaned up... I'm a bit annoyed of having to weave around stuff and step over stuff... it's giving me tunnel vision...
:help:
Worked on some odd orange thing and applied the same redneck thread insert method on a stripped out muffler bolt hole... same process as I used on the 850, just in a bit different location, on a different saw.
