I know one prior owner in the Milwaukee area who traded his KW-1 for a
house-painting job. I asked him why and he said "I needed the house
painted" ;-) This was back in the 70s when all he figured if it was just
useful for CW or as a linear, he could do that with a much smaller rig.
Yeah, he's still kicking himself!
Well, I dunno. Even at today's KW-1 prices, that might not be such a bad
deal. Have you seen any estimates on house painting lately? Even a
moderately sized house with wood siding may run into 5 digits these days
for a good professionally done job.
