Type

  • Original Originals: These are machines that I have built or bought and still own.
  • Restoration Restoration: Machines that I used to own that have been faithfully recreated or re-purchased and restored.
  • Dream Build Dream builds: These are machines that I would have wanted to own in that period and now do.
  • Memorial Memorial: Machines that I used to own but no longer have with little possibility of regaining.

For rebuilds, I've tried to keep the machine as close to the originals and as faithful to the era as the availability and cost of parts allow.

I also tried to use brand new, original parts aka "new-old-stock" whenever I could get it.

Status

  • Working The machine is assembled and working.
  • In Progress I am acquiring or have acquired the parts but the machine still needs assembling.
  • Offline The machine has been disassembled.
  • Planning I am currently researching or designing this build.
