Mason & Hamlin Model 50

[Delwin D Fandrich]

Part II
 
If you do not wish to do the rescaling yourself then you measure the speaking
lengths (in millimeters, please) and send this information, along with the
original wire diameters (including core diameters and overall diameters for the
wrapped strings), to someone who does. In exchange for a nominal amount of money
he/she will send you an appropriate stringing scale. Including specifications
for wrapped strings that you can send to your wrapped string maker.

List,

 

I am rebuilding a Mason & Hamlin Model 50, serial number 83207, built circa 1978
with a strange stringing scale.  I would like to know if I should restring it as
it is marked on the plate, or as it was measured, or if it should be rescaled.
If it should be rescaled - what is the best proceedure?.
