Anyways atleast the model now sits on a stand!

Hey there, is there any way you could take some close up shots of the upper deck lounge area?
What you have here is an ultra ultra rare seating layout where AA was testing the upstairs stateroom from June 1970-Apr 1971 when they renamed these the luxury liners and changed the upper deck lounge and added the coach lounge (which would very slightly later get the organ).
We have never been able to see the upper deck in this layout save one photo from Boeing. The later upper deck lounge which came about a year later has tons of promotional info and photos, but not the early Captain's deck state room in the 1970 747 astroliner.
I have a thread going on airliners.net and there is great info In there. Any assistance with those photos would be appreciated!
