They used to buy old uprights by the carload and 'restyle' them.... most with mirrapiano cutdowns and some with new legs, etc. Typically these thingees had some new stuff, like the bridle straps you mentioned, sandblasted actions for cleanup, hammers were 'usually' filed, backs spray painted to hide dirt/dust/grime. The typical selling price for these Klutzes was around 295/395 dollars here in Jacksonville. Jim Bryant (FL)
