Okay Folks, time to vote for the "Find of the Month for October 2011".

Remember to vote for the "Find" that would have been "Your Find of the YEAR" had you been lucky enough to have stumbled upon it at an Auction, on Craig's List, on ebaY, at the Flea Market, at a Garage Sale or in the Dumpster.

There are some great Finds this month so lets try to set a record for the number of votes for the "Find of the Month" this time!

Well, that's it for the October 2011 Find of the Month. A great competition this month with lots of terrific finds but in the end, probably the most amazing find of all is the run away winner. Being a collector of AE phones who myself only has a couple of early colored AE sets, a find like this one of Ray's just makes me dream of even being able to find one like this let alone 12 of them.

Congratulations Ray!

So we didn't quite beat the all time record of 27 votes for the FInd of the Month last January but we gave it a good try. Thanks everyone for taking he time to check out the FInd of the Month and for voting.

Now on to November and guess what, already a Mahogany AE 40 with Gold trim has been found for the steep price of $40. Looks as though my ship will never come in at this rate, in fact I better check to see that it hasn't sunk.

Keep a real close eye on your mail box Ray for the cash part of the award. Don't stay out there too long though, I would imagine it is starting to get cold there now.

If you have the oportunity to post any more pictures of the cleaned up results of the AE's, I'm sure that more than just myself would love to see you add them to the original thread.
