Illinois Bunn Special help needed
Hello,
I picked up a 23J Bunn Special this weekend and I was wondering if any one could give me production or any other info. Serial number is 2,468,760.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Frank
P.S. Are reproduction books available of Roy's Illinois book of production numbers?
