Description:
A nice workhorse of a machine. The brown/green color combination is not my favorite. However, this one has a family connection, as it was owned by my sister-in-law's parents, and used to have a dealer tag below the spacebar from New Ulm, Minnesota. They passed this one along to me in July of 2023, as they moved from Minneapolis, MN. Our cat, Murray, was especially curious about re-attaching linkages and replacing missing springs.
