I only got twenty five minutes in but that's a treat right there... Ha. Go BV and his pipe.

Well I was wrong about the short production run of 1965 to 1967 when they shut up shop.

Every now and again an opportunity arises to acquire something much sought after and one of those opportunities presented itself a while back. I discovered some years ago that if you turn these opportunities down you will probably regret it later and you will be a lucky chap to get another one come your way so this chance was grabbed with both hands. Of course I have paid far too much for it but hey I gave up alcohol over 20 years ago and smoking some 12 years ago so with all that money saved an indulgence to give great pleasure is only a substitute to former pleasures and therefore allowed.

The Craftversa is now with Andrew Davis who will wave his magic over it and perhaps I might find an accommodating tench or two in the Spring

Well Found PH. Can only be a source of quiet satisfaction whenever its in use,
Even reliving the memory of its location must bring a certain pleasure, it would for me !
Is the top section still sound?
