Ed Gloeggler, I just want to say (as did Gomer Pyle), "Thank you, thank
you, thank you!"  Your comments and wisdom (resulting from painful
experience) are to be applauded!  I shudder when I see or hear of the
"up-to-date" modifications and "git-'em-goin'" techniques foisted on
the unsuspecting instrument owner.  For their information, the "wheel
has already been invented" and there are NO "free lunches".  Thanks again
for "hitting it on the head."
