Anyone else use this hardening solution? John Minor University of Illinois >> List, My PC was on the fritz since before Christmas, so I'm just catching up on very out-dated mail. However, I can offer some input on Ford Piano Supply... or at least on Mr. Ford. John Ford is now residing in N.E. Pennsylvania in the Scranton area. Our PTG Chapter (Pocono Northeast-186) is proud to have him as a recent new member. He has been very informative at our meetings, besides being a wonderful human being. At one meeting he was discussing tools and we were suprised to know that he invented many of the tools we've been using for years, never realizing their origins, i.e the re-pinning tool to remove & replace flange pins (APSCO 16256). I will be happy to relay any questions or comments to him at our next January meeting on the 22nd. It's nice to see the List again! Larry Trischetta LTpianoman@aol.com
