Terry, I still have some test-market sets of 3.5/0 pins with 1/0 or 2/0 tops, nickel plated only and 2 3/8 inch length (60mm.). If you are interested, contact me privately. After they are gone, I won't be ordering any more, because Pianotek is taking over. They have an order for a variety of sizes (including half sizes) and blued that will probably be available in March. They will be the distributor.
