Fw: SAMICK SG172

[Ruth Phillips]

Hi list,
If any of you would like to answer this, please join in.  I wrote 
to him, suggesting that he get Larry Fine's book and take his 
time.  Also said that if he gives me his location, I can recommend
a technician near him.  
I'm not subscribed to the list, so if there are any answers directly
to me, please use webb1@bellatlantic.net.
Thanks,
Ruth
