Chris:

The magazine made it to Princeton, Illinois yesterday.  Great 770 on the cover.

We also have a "flattop."  Did Oliver paint any of the 770 light inserts white?  I know most them were made during the 1800/1600 era so it follows that the 770 would have been green, but the later ones were made after the "50" series was introduced.  Since we have quite a few of the "50" series we went ahead and painted the 770's inserts white also.  We think it looks better even if it is not original.
