Denise....tell me more. For some odd reason, I seem to be off of the mailing list. Usually I receive notices of all the local swapmeets.

I went down to the Chester WV one Sunday but found nothing, which was in the way of the type of parts, I normally look for. I did see a dozen or so front and rear 45 cylinders, trans side covers, and head bolt hardware, but the cylinders were mailbox holder condition, the trans side covers, and head bolt hardware, were way over priced. I over heard a vendor talking with another vendor about some of their pricing. The chat was about how they could get even more for them on ebay. 99% of the other vendors parts were 1985-up years. One other fellow had a gear side 45 case half. The generator area was completely broken off of it. He was asking $250.00 for it ! My Son would'nt let me offer him $5.00 for it. Paps

Here is the info for the meet which replaced Yankee.
