New wheel!

Pics to follow, but I just had to share the fact that my new wheel has arrived! Well, when I say new - 1977-79 vintage Ashford Traveller. The condition is excellent, no dry wood or loose joints and in better overall condition than the seller had given me to understand - she definitely under-sold it in the description! Superbly well packed by its previous owner, it came out of the box requiring only a couple of adjustments and some parcel string for a drive belt, and I have spun my first 'test' yarn on it - it runs amazingly well, very smooth and 'alive' (something I haven't always found with the new, high-tech wheels I have tried out). I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
