<div><SPAN> I Just love to look at these things once there together & before strings. The Plate suspension system has a few things to watch out for so if you decide to do this ask Ron N David or me about the protocols. With 17 threaded studs sticking up it was important that they be closely aligned with the plate holes. I had to stand on the plate & jump up & down on it to get it to drop in. Other than that. Piece of cake.<br>
This board has a most wonderful boom Trix is in the string phase. Will report. The client came into see Trix string & was very pleased ...so far.<br>
By the way Will...If any body decides to rebuild one of these I'd be happy to offer things to watch out for. The plate really as built for the enormous tension I describe(50k). The hitch rail is really fat and protrudes underneath the hitch pins dangerously close to the board at 3 or 4 mm. If I did a second one I would allow for even more bridge height. <br>
The rib scale/string scale is available.<br>
I better get on with the Convention B. Is the connvention next week? yes? no?....... Uh oh!<br>
