I am currently restoring a laterna purchased about 40 years ago
in Turkey.  It had a shattered hitch pin block and other problems.
I have restored and re-engineered the hitch pin block which was
under-engineered originally.  It is restored as close as possible
to original appearance and will very shortly be playable again.  If
anyone is interested, I can send photos or a PowerPoint presentation
of the restoration.  The PowerPoint is a big file.

I am curious as to how many still exist in the world, or in the USA.
