---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Ron, Agree with you completely, give the customer as much complete information as possible. Once they hear all the facts, and realities, it's their call. The joy you see from resurrecting Grama's old Upright Grand, to a particular family, is more than worth the effort. There is a growing market for nostalgia rebuilds/refubishing, so it is just practical business sense, to learn how to efficently do these jobs profitably. The skill levels attained from doing this work, spills over in many other areas of the craft. An example: All verticals we modify and install triple damper systems, to drastically reduce the damper over ring from the golden oldies. Early jobs, we eat a lot of labour, today it is very profitable, because we have developed a system to reach our goals.
