The next project is this model 87 that Don has had sitting in the shop for God knows how long. Since we just finished the 112x doing the 87 should be a snap. Here are some pictures of the new project, the cabinet is beautiful I was tempted to buy it from Don and keep it for myself but nah.[Image: http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a508...4f8f95.jpg][Image: http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a508...c63e38.jpg]as you can see we have quite a few projects in the wings.[Image: http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a508...191c8b.jpg]this chassis has a few globe tubes still in it.[Image: http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a508...167d1e.jpg]
