[CAUT] Chickering quarter grand for next to nothing.

[Greg Newell]

Jon,
    I have padded the estimate a bit but will likely do so a bit more 
for the actual proposal and subsequent contract.
    I found that even in it's dilapidated condition it has more than a 
"twinklky tone suited to granny's tea room". What I'm most concerned 
about is the parts situation. It sounds as though I'll be rebuilding 
wippens and the like. What fun! ;-\ The pin block doesn't worry me too 
much but other things that I can't easily duplicate could become quite 
the P.I.T.A.

all the best,
Greg
