Hi, Dale, I got the samples and am going to look at them tomorrow, but they seem too small to subdivide. ( I haven't actually opened the envelope, which is in my car. ) I may also turn over the retailing aspect of this to Jurgen, as he has the established setup. Frankly, I don't care much to be a merchant. I only want enough for my own use ---- at "cost", though, so I am trying to work this out. If Toray USA doesn't want ( or can't ) deal with a Canadian, do you have any interest in being the U.S. supplier, before I taunt Schaff ( or Pianotek ) with this idea ???? Know anyone else who might be? In the meantime I am on a good working relation with Toray under the supposition that I might create a market for them in the rebuilding field, so I will ask them to please send you your own sample kit under the auspices of your being a notable rebuilder. I'll let you know if they are amenable. Peace, G P.S. Did Marty Eggers ever consult with you about his AR ? P.S. II---I have a LOT of wood-to-felt friction/contact/mechanical junctures to lube in this Chickering Brown action I'm rebuilding. What, please, is your preferred stuff for coating jack tips and such ? --- Erwinspiano@aol.com wrote: > > Gordon > I'm very interested. > > Dale Erwin > > I am negotiating with Toray Industries to make > Ecsaine > readily available to the rebuilder market, either > as a > distributor, or through a regular supply house. > If you have interest in purchasing some for your > own use or experimentation, please email me.
