Hello to everyone,  I just joined MMD and I'm looking forward to
participating in the dialog.  It will be a great way for me to keep in
contact with many of you who I already know and to build friendships
with others.

Those of you who don't know me, I have been buying, selling and
restoring mechanical music machines full time for twenty five years
now.  About a year and a half ago I stopped dealing in machines.
I now rely on restoration work to pay the bills.  Now that I'm not
dealing I have been spending my spare time on renovating my downstairs
in order to make it a proper space to house my collection.  I hope to
complete restoration on one of my pieces by the end of this year.

Since I purchased this new computer about six weeks ago, I have been
making replacement labels for my 88-note rolls.  Do any of you have
experience matching label colors?  Any tips would be helpful.

If you are an old friend feel free to E-mail me.

 [ Welcome to MMD, Paul.  Please tell us sometime about your collecting
 [ and restoration adventures.  I recall some discussion in MMD about
 [ making replacement box labels; try searching the MMD Archives at
 [ http://mmd.foxtail.com/Archies/  and look for the key word "Labels".
