Folks, The fun part of the job. Today, I finally removed the plate out of the old 5'8" Krakauer and found the buried treasure. I'm guessing that there was a pesky little rattle in the thing for a loooooong time. -it had been donated over 40 years ago to the church where I found it. -there was the same sort of epoxy type material skwooshed into and along one of the soundboard cracks as I had found in several collars around tuning pins. I found one Victrola needle... ;-} Conrad Hoffsommer, RPT, MPT, CCT, PFP, ACS, CRS.
