It was expensive, but if a thing no longer exists except the one in your
hand, you have to decide.
I have never been a strict vintage guy, I usually try to keep it original if
I can, but there comes a time when the original parts are too rare to find
or too expensive to be practical, a change of equipment is allowed in my
world. These windows will be a step back to original, but they were right at
that edge where you have to think of these windows or the disk brakes I
could have.

Congratulations on your successful find of better than you expected Denis!
Those times are what help keep this hobby fun, except for the fact that
everything is getting so darned expensive.
Your in Buses,
Peter

I scored. I have what was once a Sundial camper. The windows crank out in
one piece. They have a little plastic slider that is almost never there in
the swap meet stuff. and over each window is a thin aluminum visor that
keeps water off of them. They are, almost always, bent up.
I called before I went out and told Derek what I was looking for and he said
he was pretty sure he had some working windows.
So, I went out there and even though I had written the instructions down
this time I got lost like a #$$$$%^&%E%E^&^R!!! AGAIN! On the way back I
looked for the road signs and they were there, clear as the nose on my %^&@!
FACE. I have been out there 4 times and have always gotten lost in these
&!!!#%##! Ozark Mountains. The best that I can say is that I know I am lost
a little earlier each time.
When I finally got there Derek had pulled the bus with the windows out of
the pile for me, it was sitting there waiting for me.
So, I got 5 working windows and 5 visors in pretty good shape. I won't tell
you what I had to pay, Derek is very proud of his stuff, but since I have
been hunting this stuff for years I truly know how rare they are. All I can
say is #!%%$&*!
