Re: [AMC-list] first issue with rosie. only

Sounds like good news all around! Guts for the wiper motor should be 
available since they didn't change much over 60+ years they were made 
but I don't know where you would get them. There are plenty of places 
that can rebuild them. Peter Stathes comes to mind.

If anyone wants to see the guts, take a look at
