The "old reprint kit CD" is in fact those 6 bound reprint kits on CD rom. That is Bridges and Soundboard Repair; Dampers, Trapwork & Actions Centers; General Repair; Hammers & Touchweight; Keys; Pinblocks and Plates; Rebuilding Skills; Soundboard Installation; and Stirnging, Crown and Downbearing. This CD was produced and 1998 and has been continuously adverstised in the Piano Technicians Journal for $100. It was produced using Adobe Acrobat 3.0 and all the scans were done at 72 dpi. This is fine for viewing on a monitor, or printing out text, but it was difficult to see and print the photographs. As in any Adobe PDF product, is is somewhat searchable.
