Ok, I give , I've been monitoring all the Masi mail for a month now and it's time to chime in ......... as the owner of Masi 0264, I need all the help I can get in getting this rescue job back on the road again. It's understandable that someone who doesn't own one might get tired of all the "Masi Mania", too bad .... I also enjoy hearing about Paramounts (saw a '67 the other day for $700) and Atalas and Team Fujis ....... if Masi owners want to contact me off line, I'd appreciate any help, history, restoration advice I can get ........ this way the constructuer debate can continue uninterrupted ...... Junet debates anyone? bob williamson 101 degrees F in Houston Tx ..... it's hot outside too
