Orange Boy First Discussed in July 2004
In Response To: Congrats go out to Atlanta ()

Here's our very first discussion of an Orange Boy, back in July 2004. That's right, a little over 10 years ago -- July 2004 Posting Discussing "Orange Boy". You will see that it didn't even have a nickname back in those days.

I had this one for a while and then it went to a new home. Hoping for the best with today's delivery. There's some bad weather here in the US, so it may be delayed but we will hope for the best.

Owner confirms that he bought it new, around 1970, and had it serviced a couple of times, by Heuer. Interesting to see the relatively large ears / pushers sticking out some distance.
