[AJD] model B

[Rev. Gerber]

Jim:  I forgot to check.  The B started and ran fine; it was about 4
degrees.  I will be back up there this Friday, and will try to remember.
I know the one I have is original.  One of the straightest B's I've
seen.  The grills and grill screens are not perfect, but have never been
touched.  Remind ma again on Thursday, please.
