I had a really good time at the CAPS show.I saw a lot of old friends and met some new ones. I bought some parts and picked up a couple of machines. I did get that really cool Busy Bee Columbia Q client machine from Mike Sorter. It's an excellent machine at a good price. Thanks Mike. I really enjoyed the banquet and presentation. I've been involved wirh CAPS since 2002, and each year is always better than the previous year. Harvey P. Kravitz --- On Mon, 8/17/09, john9...@pacbell.net <john9...@pacbell.net> wrote:

I do art restoration for a living so I can do the work-but it would take a ton to bring it back. The leather was in good shape-but I don't have to have that. I just got a Amberola V with matching cabinet in mahogany from a client-I am not sure that I need 2 though my other is in oak. The pinstriping and paint is about the same on both80-85% but the mahogany needs to be redone as it has crazed to about 60 grit sandpaper. It my take a while but I can let you know what I am going to do after I restore the mahogany case and cabinet.
