Jackie, the space saver structure is brilliant!  Yes, I recall the term "motor court" still on some in the '60s.

Hey Randy!  Glad to have a partner.  If your near Waco, you could come over and we could play together.  We can still "Social Distance" as you could have the "LionChief Plus" control and I can take the ZW   !! 

Regards Don

Don:

I wish I could come and visit, but, I live on the north east coast in Baltimore, Maryland and have only been to Texas twice for Houston Symphony auditions in the late 1970's. However, Thank you for your kind invitation. Stay well.

Thank's Mark,   I think half the fun in building structures is doing the research.

I could sure go for a coney right now. Here in Flint MI we are under curfew. Even now we are not allowed to do unessential travel after 9.  McDonald's today with the limited menu (no shakes) 4 of the 9 main number choices were out of stock. 

Great photos everyone, please keep them coming! They really give out some great ideas!
