I had a Mark VII IBA that had aluminum motors. I had one that the mounting flanges corroded and broke off. This was an onboard dryer, and luckily it didn't fall off, but I know someone that did have one fall. This was not unusual with these and I think they quit using them relatively quickly...

I've been on this forum for 24 years, and I don't think I have seen less enthusiasm than this year. I know I use to get excited about it every year. I had even planned on showing up this year, just to visit old acquaintances, but life prevented it. Those of you that went, was there anything...

In 1990 we built a 4 bay SS on a 95' wide x 150' deep lot. We got a variance to put one end of the building on the property line, but had we not, we would have just built a 3 bay. 14 years later, we converted the bay closest to the equipment room to an auto. It's still in business today.
