[pianotech] How about his tool kit .........

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

Would you believe I "still have mine"!  It was the first case I purchased 
for servicing electronic instruments. I have actually had it "rebuilt". A 
leather man made a new outside case for it.  I also years before had two 
wooden lift out trays made for it.  It has the items in it that I might use 
once a year.  If anyone is interested, I'll take some pictures and post 
them.
