On Welcome to the Frontpage - The Vintage Airstream Podcast we discussed this thing called "Airstream Spirit" on episode 74. I have been very fortunate to have received many items I needed, sometimes out of the blue. The ability to reach out to someone with something you do not need and help them without any expectations is a wonderful feeling. I hope that somehow I can help you with your project.
My reefer broke down and if not for the help of a fellow forums member and a VAP fan, it might still be. I was however saved with the part I needed and now it works perfectly. These obsolete parts can be hard to find. I talked about the problem on episode #73 and talked about the solution on episode #74.
I guess what I am trying to get at is by giving you may in turn receive. Yin and yang. If you are not your brothers keeper, who will care for you, type thing.
I guess I already figured he's got "airstream spirit" . . . which I think you can have and not realize that the stinky, moldy, rusty . . . refrigerator that you're throwing out might have a door handle thumb peice that would make someone's world go 'round . . . that was the only point I was trying to make.
peace and love.
