CA oops

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

I had to CA a 1927 Kimble baby grand last week that they weren't interested 
in re-building.  I used the same syringe that I had used to CA an upright 
piano some months ago.  The needle I had thrown away.  I did have to poke 
and prod a little to get it loose enough to work.
