I know a lot of guys who have old doubles that haven't needed any work. That said, it is the exception, and not the rule. If it weren't, guys like Kirk Merrington, Hugh Lomas, Dennis Potter, Steven Dodd Hughes, etc, the list goes on, would all be on food stamps, and, they 'ain't.
I've got one old one, that got the big fix, and while I love it to pieces, it isn't everybody's cup of tea.
Know thyself, before buying new or old.


Best,
Ted
