Greetings Gang,  Yep, it's official. I'll be restoring the cabinet and
electro-mechanics of Frank's Pindertron in the cooler months of
New England  (heck, they're ALL cooler!).  #134 will get the same
TLC as my prev. projects .  Many of you have prob. seen my work
in Philly-2001 and KL/KM have seen "Julia" this past March.

Work/storage space has already been arranged,supplies ordered.
Will be a full-blown version of  4-days' work in 2001 sorting-out
the electronics of Chris Dale's Wake-O-Tron. Chris was our guest
that weekend in which we received a whopper of snowstorm.

The "special mojo" might be "The White Eagle of the North, etc " ,
which still sends a shiver of nostalgia up my arms after 34 years.
"Sharayah" will definitely see the White Eagle of the North, and
the "browns,reds, and golds of autumn....." .

Getting goose-bumps and wood-splinters already......Jerry Korb
