The owner had in in their horse barn for 15 years in the Arizona desert. Sentimental value, money no object. 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!

I've been to arts n crafts stores, office supplies and the big orange builders store (you know the one) and all I can find is a 8x11 sheet product. Apparently I can get this in a roll, as explained on the Bolduc soundboard replacement video with Christian Bolduc, but what kind of supplier has this stuff. Even been to a paper specialty shop but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David C. </FONT></DIV></DIV><BR> <DIV id=AOLMsgPart_4_a05ada73-b265-43ca-b554-c60c3a8da0c8 style="MARGIN: 10px"><A href="http://webmail.aol.com/34032/aol/en-us/Mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.18172316&folder=New+Mail&partId=4" target=_blank>[Image Removed] <BR></A></DIV> <DIV class=AOLPromoFooter> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> More new features than ever.
