<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps another easy =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course my pliers would be made to =
remove plastic

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Don't know about your tool kit, but regulating =
tools
brought these thoughts to mind:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1. I wish someone still made the regulating =
pliers that
used to work so well on wooden capstans: Schaff p.49, top left. I =
tried to
order one and was told they don't have them anymore.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2. I've thought it would be useful to =
have a long
strip of magnetic plastic (like refrigerator magnets have) 1/8 =
inch thick
(or whatever) and 1/2 in wide to place across the strings for =
setting
let-off.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>3. How about damper spoon benders with a =
seeing-eye dog
built in? Not as silly as it sounds, it could be done with a fiber =
optic light
and camera .... might be a trifle pricey, though! I'll see if my local =
brain
surgeon has any spare equipment. Or as Igor said to Dr. Frankenstein, =
"Master,
if you had half a brain you'd be finished with that by =
now."</FONT></DIV>
