Warren Walker scores the mother lode!
« on: December 11, 2007, 04:58:03 PM »
Warren Walker recently purchased a gazillion models and engines in an estate sale.  He will be putting them up for sale as he has a chance to sort them out and clean them up (Castor oil, time, dust - blegh!)  Anyway, if you want to get in touch with Warren, try walkerssheetmetal@gawab.com  Here are some teaser photos:

Ed, I never said he got it cheap. I know what he paid and it was a good deal. There was a Fox 59 long shaft and a ST G 64 60 RR in the lot. By todays EBAY prices the sale of those 2 would make his money back.

Warren is a savvy individual, and I have personally looked at the collection.  There are plenty of planes that could be restored to competition quality with ease for Nostalgia and Old time FF, about which some of you have NO understanding.  The engines look grubby now, but will mostly clean up to pristine condition with a bit of croc-pot treatment.  If you don't know Warren, and haven't seen the merchandise, you haven't a clue what it is worth!  Quit snipeing without knowledge!!  :X

I guess I have a different point of view. I look at the stuff and imagine the hours of enjoyment the person who left it must have had. I hope the folks who end up with it will also enjoy it.
