The presenter was showing how to do a lot of field repairs. (broken keys, etc.) We eventually identified the victim action as being from a Kimball and Sam agreed that (under the crud) it looked just like his at home. I helped him load the action into his car after the meeting. Now he has something upon which to experiment/learn and not worry about breaking anything. (he now has a bunch of Kimball brass flanges) The best thing, though, is that he left something with us. A check and a PTG membership application. I was very happy to sign the sponsor line.
