Agreed about decent peanuts.  It will still bring lots of pleasure.   BTW
to all, sorry about the one double mis-post,  hit the wrong button while
cleaning up old files.

I've restored turn of the century uprights where the customer wouldn't
spring for new hammers despite my advice, and they were very happy with
them, even though I was not.   Sounds like one of those cases.

  Best,  Anne
