[pianotech] Scrap Value of Plate

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi, Taylor !
Thank you for a kind word..
I do remember you, but we should see each other more often at our  
Conventions.
Hope to see you in Chicago in July.
As you said,  smaller Plate can fetch more then $35 in scrap metal  
plus equal amount HARD to FIND i Plate screws, Nose bolts,Different  
shapes of STRING REST bars  [HALF-Round shaped Brass ]
Saving those items does not require much space in the shop...
Sorry for a typo on OBLONG Screws: Please,correct OVAL and ROUND HEAD  
Screws.
Regards
Isaac
