I'm fairly sure I have a note by note record of the original covered 
string scale with a record of every core and overall diameter, but 
nothing for the plain wire.  You will be able to tell by the speaking 
lengths whether it is the same model. There was a very early model 
with bright iron covers (very fine) but I've only once seen that. 
The scale I have is for the model with copper covers. Let me know if 
you'd like this and I'll look it out.
