<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">David:<br> <br> Any good plastics supply house will have a variety of grades and thicknesses of flexible plastic available. I use Duralar which is about 20 mills, doesn't tear, forms a clean hole with a punch, and comes in 4 x 8' sheets which I keep rolled up in the corner. Good for making agraffe templates, too. If you want a good punch set, look to Mazzaglia tools. <br> <br> Paul<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: David Chadwick <chadwick61@cox.net><br> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:09 pm<br> Subject: Re: Bridge pattern material<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_3_9adba7b9-dc89-403e-83cf-a9df63a455e2"> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">It's a little 5' 1" Knabe.

No trace of serial number but it should be somewhere on the treble plate side underneath the regold. I'll include some photo's of the pinblock. WOW!  I'll check out your plastics reference Dale and Dean's suggestion for the drafters supplies stores. I had pondered David's idea of having the scale design calculated. I know this has been discussed on the list before so I need to research and find who can help me with this..... Any suggestions who? I'm not seeing anyone in the PTG directory.  I'll be in Anaheim for sure!
