Here she is, all finished up! Playing TUBE TALK as the photo was taken. Could Paul's voice be the first thing she has received since WWII? Maybe the last song she played was that new guy they called "Elvis Presley"? ... Perhaps it was the 1947 World Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Yankees?

These are the thoughts I like to think when I am enjoying a new/old set for the first time. 8)

Anyways, what a great Christmas gift! This is my new daily driver. Back to Tube Talk now...
