obsolete metal parts

[AKarab@aol.com]

Hi Group,

A machinist who consented to duplicate a section of Kimball brass rail for me
for a reasonable price (no easy feat, finding that) explained to me that he
is into antique motorcycles and knows a couple of dealers who often need
parts for repairs.

Problem is, he says, these parts are made of a metal called unobtainium.

I liked it, and even got his (unwritten) permission to pass it on.
