I Found a New Rossi 53 in an old hobby shop!!
Hi Guys, I just had to tell someone!! Yesterday I was in an old (been in business a long time) hobby shop while visiting Phoenix Airzona. It is a place called Frank's Hobbies. I am only here for several days, but I searched for hobby shops in town and came across Frank's.
While I was browsing towards the back of the shop I saw a red box, in a glass cabinet, with "Rossi" on it. I asked to see what was in the box and was shown a brand new - never used, Rossi 53 with the long - oversized black muffler and spring. There was also a Rossi #6 "cold plug" in the box as well. I picked it pu for $100.
Then, right next to the Rossi box was another box that soared my interest...it was another brand new Webra 55 (made in Austria - so was the Rossi). I bougt both of them for $200.
Somehow I feel pretty good about this trip to Arizona - THANKS Frank's Hobbies!!!
I have no idea where I'll use the engines...yet. OH MY...I guess I'll have to go shopping!!!
