[pianotech] Lighte & Co. upright - help needed

[Rob McCall]

Chuck,

Thanks for the help.  I've looked in the local rags and on Craigslist,  
as well. In my region, everything in this age and condition seems to  
be in the $350-800 range.

I am a member of the PTG (since April!).  You and I talked for quite a  
while in Grand Rapids while I was drooling over your work bench.  I  
guess it's time to consider budgeting for those plans.  :-)

Is there a way to search past issues of the Journal online without  
buying the CD-ROM's of past issues?  I've only received 3 issues on my  
own... Not quite the library to search from. :-)

Regards,

Rob
