I had arranged to pick up a real nice Pharaoh a few years ago.Pick up was a 1.5 hour drive,so off me and the wife go and alls good,  we are about 15 minutes away and get a phone call from one of our daughters to say the front of the house is on fire.A passing driver has seen the fire and knocked on the door to see if any one was home.We turn around and head straight home, while still talking to the bloke who stopped on the phone.Thanks to him the fire is put out but we had to make sure everything was ok so we said stuff the pin lets go home to make sure alls good.After organising the repairs to the electric wires ect,and having to work the next day i rang the guy to advise him that he could sell it to another guy who was interested.I still regret not having that machine in my collection. ^.^.
