Trix: I have a CC from 1983 at school. I'll check it in the morning for you. I had it restrung a year ago and I can't remember if the belly guy wrote the string numbers on the plate or not, but I know he did good measuring. He might have a record of it too. Let me check tomorrow if you don't learn anything before then. dave David M.

Just want to make sure I don't duplicate error. I can always take string lengths and run it through one of those nifty programs, but just thought I'd see if anyone can confirm....thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
