I can see it now - we'll get to the point where we're able to pinpoint needle only one groove in the hammer, like we do with supertone...(!)

Hi,
The catalogue is available from Guitar Shop Supply at 800-848-2273. The Neck Joint Steamer Needle & Hose are #4059 for Needle, hose & clamp $32.45 or,
#4056 Needle & hose adapter only (use your own hose and clamp) $17.60.
They are apparently made exclusively for Stewart-Mac Donald.
