Our Blue Boxes need to leave their current home in Riverside, Ohio. After 8 years of restoration efforts, our C-3 is 100% working (on most days), and our ANT-18 is very functional, although needs some additional work. If you love these old trainers (as we do), we hope you will consider giving them a home and TLC.
