Jon, Tony, Roger, et. al,

Thanks for all of the advice!  I am probably going to just replace the 
flanges w/cords.  For the negligible cost(roughly 42 cents each, if Schaff 
still has any), it seems a bit easier to do it that way.  Plus I get 88 used 
yamaha flanges that I can practice 
re-cording on....:-)  

Still a 5 hour job, I would think....
