It certainly seems unlikely any
lightning stripes made it to PC Day unless they were in a dead line or on a unit
not destined to be retained by PC. Sorry I couldn't find you even
one.

Yes, that was the picture I looked at. I
thought those stripes looked
pretty fresh for being 1969, but I didn't
think anything more of it.

Two photos at Geneva, Ohio....cool.... That's what I keep
finding, is
that most of the lightning stripes start dying out around 1964
or 1965.
Maybe none of them made it all the way to 1968?

Not for $60 a pop I'm not...
