between the two, he was able to repair my canadiana and it now runs beautifully! the other still goes a bit, but is best tucked away and used for parts. well worth the $2.50 i paid for it, to get my other one running.
for some reason, i have no pictures of the canadiana, so will likely go out tomorrow and get a couple of shots.
i have implemented a google search bar. i will run a trial for a while and then decide whether to keep it or not. i dont know much about how it works, so welcome any advice on how to make it work better or be more useful.
