I love a rebuilt old machine, but it seems to be this would take a lot of time and resources and really what would it show? That Attex had a failure.
My two cents is to lay this thing out in the back fourty.
Hope this doesn't hurt anyone's feelings.
A better deal would be for a manufacturer to bring back the smaller and more successful line-up like a new run of Superchiefs, hint hint.
