I've never seen these figures up close and in the flesh, so to speak, but that have tickled my fancy since I first learned of them when The Duncan Company sent me a catalog in the fall of 1982.

We have an emergency generator that runs on either gasoline or propane, but getting it up and running is an experience in holding your breathe and making sure everything is set up and connected juuuuust right. Otherwise, explosion, fire, and (likely) injury can result. It's not for the faint of heart I can tell you.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-46497950989317578242019-01-07T13:55:21.459-04:002019-01-07T13:55:21.459-04:00I am extremely envious of your DIY skills.
