restored 23x pics
#1

restored last year and won first place,peoples choice,and best of show all three awards at once. this set was posted on craigs list on late friday afternoon in dallas, it was at a business ,closed over the weekend and the pics were real bad but enough to figure out with reserch that it was indeed a 23x. monday morning i kept calling until they awsered and it was still there,i was the first caller ill take it . ok they said i asked for address would you beleive i was2 miles away it was at a old recording sudio near downtown dallas, they said it was in storage room, room was being cleared out and the someone was going to restore it long ago and no longer worked there he had left it and there it sat. i can talk more about it later and post better pics of it before and after.if any body cares for me to do that i will. Thanks Fred taylor

They look fine to me - your picture width is 1024 pixels now, which is a good upper limit. Icon_thumbup
