Happy Father's Day everyone. My father's day gift came a few days early this year - and no, it is not the unused diaper on the right side of my trunk. I understand these LSM's don't pop up much and I never thought I'd actually find one, let alone through craigslist. I hope to get it up and running soon.




I'd also like to say thanks in advance to Doug, Phillip, Ryan and Jay, who have generously shared their previous experiences and knowledge with similar machines on this forum. The info provided below has been a tremendous help to this neophyte.

About two blocks away from me! Glad it went to another HB'er! I almost bought it, but I just bought a Linea, and I'm trying to shed gear not keep adding to it :)

It would have sold in 3 minutes if the guy listed a photo of it. I wasn't sure if it was a single group or not.

Beauty! And, mystery solved given that there was no photo (I did notice the ad - even from my distance). Congratulations!

When the seller emailed me pictures, I almost couldn't believe it because I had waited over a week to contact him. Like I said, I feel really fortunate to have it. Tom, you don't happen to be selling an old Conti on CL right now do you?

These are the images that were sent to me. Hence the need for the diaper in the trunk.

Very nice Bay Area haul. Do you get to run it in your kitchen or will it be a basement dweller?

Definitely in the kitchen....that is until my wife tells me to move it!
