Hi, Dale,
I got the samples and am going to look at them
tomorrow, but they seem too small to subdivide. ( I
haven't actually opened the envelope, which is in my
car. ) I may also turn over the retailing aspect of
this to Jurgen, as he has the established setup.
Frankly, I don't care much to be a merchant. I only
want enough for my own use ---- at "cost", though, so
I am trying to work this out.
If Toray USA doesn't want ( or can't ) deal with
a Canadian, do you have any interest in being the U.S.
supplier, before I taunt Schaff ( or Pianotek ) with
this idea ???? Know anyone else who might be?
In the meantime I am on a good working relation
with Toray under the supposition that I might create a
market for them in the rebuilding field, so I will ask
them to please send you your own sample kit under the
auspices of your being a notable rebuilder.
I'll let you know if they are amenable.
Peace,
G
P.S. Did Marty Eggers ever consult with you about his
AR ?
P.S. II---I have a LOT of wood-to-felt
friction/contact/mechanical junctures to lube in this
Chickering Brown action I'm rebuilding. What, please,
is your preferred stuff for coating jack tips and such
?
