I have returned home.
on: November 20, 2011, 08:45:06 AM
Folks:

I have returned back home to the USA.

The loot I got off E-Bay is too massive to even go through in a day.....will take several days.

Some of it, well, needs a GOOD clean-up and tune up job.

Some are CHERRY....i.e. a NIB 1970's Craftsman, and a nearly NIB Outdoorsman Elinox line.

The one that is  DEAD GIVE AWAY for a mod is a "Master Craftsman" with a mix of parts from the 1970's to today.

Jazzbass: you might have some more stuff coming your way for tune up.  I will shoot you an e-mail with details after a through going thru.

One other thing: shame Victorinox quit selling at duty-free.  I know...911.  At the duty-free shop in Germany, I discussed that very thing with one person during our lay-over betweeen Kuwait and the USA.
MOLON LABE!
