Too bad the wiring is stripped ... sometimes, it is hard as heck to get it back through those curvy arms, but I bet you can do it.

It seems like last year (well, not really) but not that long ago, anyway, to me... I guess I am probably considered vintage, my 3 sons might say I am Antique. Youngest son said to me (kidding)..(Look in the Mirror Mom) when I told him I enjoyed looking at antiques, but, I do have several of my 45 and 33 records from the olden days, when I was in high school. WHY do I still have them? I wonder myself...suppose (keeping old stuff, keeps memories alive) if we are able we still hang on to them,why not? The good ol' days.(grin) I wish some of those (softer, olden) days were today, for our children. I wonder,what my 3 sons memories would be, if they had grown up, in the 40s and 50s when I did. Ya know?? anyway....I am so happy that young people like yourself, are keeping vintage alive, and thinking it is awesome, and enjoying it..Love your posts..bonnie in WIBonnie Schultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662392601280165884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-34713624542567785212016-01-22T13:50:00.084-05:002016-01-22T13:50:00.084-05:00I always perk up when I see 1957 and something vin...I always perk up when I see 1957 and something vintage in the same sentence!
